In this Hoard’s Dairyman Podcast episode, Associate Editor Jenna Byrne chats with Nate Ranallo (“Nate the Hoof Guy”), a seasoned bovine hoof-trimmer who has gained unexpected internet fame. They discuss his journey from farm work in Wisconsin to documenting hoof-care work on social media, how he creates videos, and how his content resonates far beyond the dairy-industry audience. Nate walks through his approach to hoof anatomy, animal care, and the mechanics of trimming, while Jenna draws out his experiences and insights for dairy producers, hoof-trimmers, and curious viewers alike. The conversation touches on topics such as how to recognize hoof‐health issues, the impact of good trimming on cow welfare and herd performance, and how sharing his work with a broader audience has opened doors for education and outreach.
