About Cows: Cattle hoof trimming, the most fascinating job you've never heard of

Tickets for our live tour are on sale here: https://www.tegeurope.com/events/the-joe-marler-show/

This week we are joined by Neil, who is a professional cattle hoof trimmer! Neil spends his days essentially giving cows pedicures, and caring for their hooves... yes, this may be our most niche episode ever. You will hear some chat about how cows have different personalities, a debate about if Joe could outrun a cow, and a fascinating (albeit, slightly graphic) deep dive into how cattle breeding works. There is also a section with Joe on all fours, pretending to be a cow, obviously.

To see some cattle hoof trimming, you can follow Neil on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njb_hoofcare/

Joe Marler used to hate people, but then he met Tom Fordyce, and a load of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a podcast was born that changed his mind forever. It might just change your life too.

Because everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. And this is a show about all the weird and wonderful things people do.

Together, Joe and Tom meet astronauts, teachers, marine biologists, cheesemakers, prison guards and everyone in between. Along the way, they’ve learned things that have blown their minds, heard stories that have made them laugh until it hurts, and – well, felt a whole lot better about the world around them and the people that fill it.
