The Convex Junior Dehorner is recognized for its quality construction and ease of use, making it a standard choice for farmers and veterinarians when handling young livestock. To properly use the Convex Junior Dehorner, it is essential to follow a few key steps to ensure the safety and well-being of the animal.

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.

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. ‍
