I'm 37 years old. I really love animals, but never wanted to be a vet or anything. Because the idea of seeing all those sick animals (not to mention the families who are worried, or even the abusers who don't care for their pets) feels like too much to handle emotionally. But watching your videos makes me want to learn to do your job. It just seems so satisfying to care for animals like this. Obviously there is a lot more to the job than what you show (plus tons of training) and maybe you see an extra share of misery too. But seeing you help these animals is literally inspiring to me.

Maybe it's my ADHD but i only watch your channel for this. Some others came up as recommended but you're the only one I enjoy fpr this. You're not a "personality" going "look at me" every 30 seconds it's " this is the thing, I'm doing the thing. This is how you thing." Love you, Nate!

I really like your playlists where you show the same heifer in a subsequent follow up checks as a problem is resolved after the initial trim. Keep up the good work. Great channel and content.

You read my mind! I was thinking "wow it would be cool to really see the slices with the hole" and next thing I knew, you did slow-mo shots! Keep being great, Nate!

I was so relieved to see the end of it on still healthy horn. I'm so glad you take such good care of your babies ❤️

I am so glad I discovered this channel. I never in my life imagined I would ever see a man treating cows' hoof injuries make such an internet culture savy comment like calling the shavings "forbidden parmesan". You make what sounds on the furface like an extremely mundane and uninteresting task legitimately entertaining to watch for hours. Good work.

You help so many of these wonderful animals out. I learn a lot by watching your videos. I've never trimmed a hoof before, but maybe I could in an emergency

omg the thin slices of horn with the hole watching it shave away, SO SATISFYING! Happy to see the screw did not get down to the corium, thanks for the lovely trim!

I've noticed in some of the videos that there is redness between the heel and dewclaws. Is that something of concern or something that some cows just have?

Experience really. With practice you can judge sole thickness.

That looks very painfull especially when the nail can get rust and it can cause an infection and make the cow hard to move around

Which disc do you use during your trims? Great videos! Really enjoy watching you at work! In your opinion, why do some cattle need to be trimmed vs other that never need to be trimmed.

Been watching a lot of these lately; quit addicting the question I keep coming across is how you know when you are done and or have maybe cut to much off. Maybe I’m ignorant but I just think about my own nails and how when they get cut to short they hurt. Keep up the great work!

Is there a long history of caring for cow hooves? It seems so important from these videos. Thousands of years of cow care, I wonder if there are old books or illustrations showing farmers tending to hooves. Or if it was an entirely word-of-mouth training heritage for long periods of time so there's no way to know how medieval folks managed these issues. Going to go down a google hole.

Every single time I watch one of your videos it breaks my heart! I lived on a 400acre farm that once operated as a dairy.. After generations lost interest in the upkeep of a dairy, the land owner began boarding heifers, birthing heifers and cows.. My fiance took care of the girls, so we had to be right there with them, I loved every second of it! One thing I complained about was keeping their quarters clean! I couldn't stand to see them have to walk through mud, really hated to see poop build up!! But one thing I never remembered was someone checking hooves.. It makes me nauseous thinking they might have had hoof problems!! The farm had a lot of rubbish laying around, pieces of tin, lumber, etc.. I think the environment was probably optimal for cows getting stuff in their hooves, but never had them inspected.. It really makes me sad and I feel kinda stupid!
