New-Style Calf Pullers Minimize Damage

New-Style Calf Pullers Minimize Damage LIVESTOCK Beef 20-2-28 You can make the birthing process safer and easier with these new-style calf pullers that work more gently than chains, straps and other devices. "VetCeps" look like socks and are made of durable nylon mesh. You roll them down over the calf's leg like a sock. Then, when you pull back on them, they tighten down, gripping the leg firmly and preventing the natural tendency of the joint to flex at the fetlock knuckle. No matter how hard you pull, they won't slip off. Proven effective in even the coldest weather, VetCeps are easy to clean and are reusable up to 50 times. Available in two sizes for both cattle and horses. Sell for $49.50 plus S&H.
