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. The brass material is chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, which is essential given the demanding conditions of farming and livestock management. The insertion of the ring is usually performed by a veterinarian when the bull is between nine and twelve months old, ensuring minimal discomfort with professional handling. The size of the ring can also play a role in the visual presentation of the bull, with larger rings often making the animal appear smaller, which can be an advantage in certain breeding contexts. Overall, the use of a brass bull ring is a testament to the blend of tradition and practicality in agricultural practices. The long, sharp point cuts a clean hole Self piercing heavy duty brass.

Barnes Dehorners with metal handles are essential tools in livestock management, specifically designed for the dehorning of calves and cattle. The 13-inch and 17-inch models cater to different sizes of livestock, ensuring a precise fit for effective use. 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. ‍

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 California Mastitis Test (CMT) is a practical and efficient method for detecting subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. It works by mixing a small amount of milk from each quarter of the cow's udder with a reagent in a paddle with four wells. The key to the CMT is the reaction between the reagent and the somatic cells present in the milk. When the cell membranes are disrupted, the DNA inside reacts with the reagent, causing a gel to form. The thickness of this gel is an indicator of the somatic cell count, which increases with infection. The test is scored on a scale from 0, indicating no reaction, to 3, which signifies a strong reaction and likely infection. This simple yet effective test helps farmers monitor the udder health of their cows and take early action to treat mastitis Ready-to-use CMT test liquids do not require any mixing and can simplify the testing process. These solutions are designed to be simple, fast, and easy to use, providing dairy farmers with an excellent tool for early detection of mastitis, potentially saving time and resources by managing udder health more effectively. • 1 liter bottle • CMT Reagent Test Liquid • Ready to Use! No mixing required • Simple. Fast. Easy to Use. Excellent tool for finding sub clinical mastitis. • Determines some mastitis udder infections before there is a visible change in the milk. ‍
