Constructed from high-grade hardened steel, the cutting heads of these dehorners are built for durability and a smooth operation. The overlapping cutting edges are a critical feature, providing a complete cut, which is vital for the welfare of the animals and the efficiency of the task. Comfort is also a consideration in the design, with poly-coated grips on the metal handles to reduce slippage and increase user comfort during the dehorning process. These tools are recognized for their long-lasting service and are a testament to the quality craftsmanship that goes into their production. Dehorning is a common practice in livestock management, primarily aimed at ensuring the safety and welfare of both the animals and their handlers. The process involves removing the horns of cattle, which can be potentially dangerous. The benefits of dehorning are multifaceted: it reduces the risk of injury to other cattle, as horned animals can cause harm to each other, especially in close quarters. For handlers, dehorned cattle are safer to manage and transport, minimizing the risk of injuries during routine handling or when moving the animals between locations. Additionally, dehorned cattle require less space at feeding troughs, which can lead to more efficient feeding practices and reduced competition among animals. This can also translate to less bruising of carcasses during transportation to slaughter facilities, which is not only a welfare concern but also has economic implications. Furthermore, the removal of horns is believed to reduce aggressive behaviors associated with dominance, leading to a more harmonious herd dynamic. With cutting blades made of high-grade tool steel our dehorners are good to have a very clean dehorning job especially in calves from 2 – 8 months. Heavy construction, chrome plated handles with rubber grips. Available in 13˝ and 17˝ sizes. ‍

The bull ring, typically made of brass, is a longstanding tool used in cattle management. Its primary function is to ensure safety and control over bulls, particularly in situations where they may become aggressive or need to be led during shows or veterinary procedures.

Calf nipples are an essential tool in the husbandry of young livestock, particularly for calves that may be orphaned or require supplemental feeding The quality of these nipples is paramount as they must be durable enough to withstand the vigorous nursing behavior of calves, yet soft enough to be safe for their delicate mouths.  Known for its exceptional rubber formula that balances toughness with flexibility for extended use these nipples are designed to fit specific bottle caps and are often available in various sizes to accommodate different age groups and feeding needs. Proper use of calf nipples involves ensuring they are clean and free from defects before each feeding, and replacing them at signs of wear to prevent ingestion of small pieces. With the right quality and care, calf nipples can significantly ease the process of hand-rearing calves, ensuring they receive the vital nutrition they need during the early stages of life.  Signs of wear in calf nipples can include visible cracks, tears, or significant thinning of the rubber material. These defects can not only affect the feeding efficiency but also pose a health risk to the calves, as cracked nipples can harbor bacteria that may lead to infections. It's crucial to inspect the nipples regularly for these signs of wear and tear and replace them promptly to maintain a safe and hygienic feeding environment for the young livestock. Additionally, any discoloration or change in texture could indicate degradation of the material, which is another sign that the nipple should be replaced. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of calf nipples are essential for the well-being of the calves and the smooth operation of feeding routines Milk Bucket/Bottle Nipple/Teat Replacement.

The Calf Weaner Orange is a durable and easy-to-apply device designed to aid in the weaning process of calves. Made from virtually unbreakable plastic, these weaners are lightweight and do not cause discomfort to the animals. They are suitable for calves up to 18 months of age and work by impeding the calf's ability to suck while still allowing them to graze and have physical contact with their mothers. This method reduces the stress associated with weaning, as it prevents the calf from nursing but does not isolate them from the herd. Typically, the weaners are left on the calves for about 4-7 days before the calves are separated from their mothers, which helps them transition to feeding on grass and other solid foods. This practice not only supports the health and welfare of the calves but also contributes to the management of the herd during the weaning period Applying a Calf Weaner Orange is a straightforward process that can be done with care and attention to the calf's comfort. First, ensure that the calf is restrained safely to prevent injury to both the animal and the handler. The weaner typically consists of two pieces that clip or snap together through the calf's nostrils. Gently separate the calf's nostrils and insert the weaner, making sure that it's securely fastened but not overly tight. It's important to check that the weaner is not causing any undue stress or discomfort to the calf. After application, monitor the calf for a short period to ensure they can breathe comfortably and are able to graze and drink water without issue. The weaner should stay in place for about 4-7 days before removal, which should coincide with the separation of the calf from its mother. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult with a veterinarian if you're unsure about the process or if it's the first time you're applying a weaner Specifically designed to stop calves from suckling. Durable plastic. Easy to apply. ‍
