Restraint & Dehorning: Safety While Working on the Animal
Cattle are strong, and when you handle them it is preparation that decides how safe the job is. Anyone who wants to restrain an animal calmly, lead it securely or treat it properly needs the right tools and a clear routine. In this section you will find equipment for restraint in the shed and during sorting, plus devices for the dehorning of calves by trained people.
Restraining and leading
When handling bulls the nose ring pliers are an important tool, while fitting the ring itself belongs in trained hands. For work on the udder or during hoof care the Allgaeuer tail holder keeps the tail safely out of the way, and in a set of three you always have a spare in the shed. A cattle blind with a PVC coating takes away the forward view of a restless animal and settles it during loading or treatment. Cattle prods help during sorting when voice, patience and good routing on their own are not quite enough.
Dehorning of calves
Dehorning is a procedure on a living animal and belongs in trained hands. It is usual on the calf at an early age, while the horn bud is still small. Pain relief is a matter for your vet, so agree the routine beforehand. The equipment includes battery devices such as the Buddex, gas devices and hot air versions, plus replacement burning tips. For horn work on older animals there are wire saws. Keep an eye on charged batteries, clean tips, calm restraint and a tidy working area with firm footing.
Frequently asked questions
Who is allowed to dehorn a calf?
The procedure belongs in trained hands. Clarify the routine and the pain relief with your vet before you start.
What is a cattle blind good for?
It takes away the animal's forward view and has a calming effect. That helps with restless animals during loading or a treatment.
When does a cattle prod make sense?
Only when calm leading is not enough. Use it briefly and sparingly and otherwise work with your voice, distance and clear, well lit routes.
Handling, Restraint and Dehorning
Safe work on cattle starts with a calm approach and the right equipment. So an animal stands reliably during treatment, hoof care or a check, the Tethers section holds chains, halters and accessories for the shed and the standing place. If things come to a halt during sorting or loading, Cattle Prods give you support, used briefly and with care for the animal. For the dehorning of calves by trained people there are Dehorners running on battery, gas or hot air, together with replacement tips. Add tail holders, cattle blinds and nose ring pliers for bulls, and the daily work on the animal gets noticeably easier and safer.
