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. ‍

The 30' OB Chain is an essential tool in the realm of veterinary obstetrics, particularly in the agricultural sector. Crafted from high-grade materials this durable chain is designed to withstand the rigors of assisting with the delivery of calves. Its length and material are chosen to provide a good grip on the calf without causing injury, ensuring the safety of both the animal and the user. The OB chain's sanitary properties make it a superior choice over traditional ropes, which can harbor bacteria and are more challenging to clean. The choice of chain length is crucial; the 30' chain is optimal when the front legs of the calf are exposed, while longer chains may be necessary for different birthing positions within the birth canal. This tool's design reflects a deep understanding of the calving process and a commitment to animal welfare, making it a reliable choice for farmers and veterinarians alike. During calf delivery, there are several common complications that can arise, posing risks to both the calf and the mother. One of the most frequent issues is dystocia, which is difficulty in delivering the calf due to its size or position. Calves that are too large or positioned abnormally in the birth canal can cause significant delays in delivery, leading to oxygen deprivation and potential mortality. Additionally, cows with smaller pelvic areas may experience more difficulty during calving, which is particularly common in younger cows that have not reached full skeletal maturity. Nutritional status also plays a critical role; cows that are either undernourished or overweight may have increased rates of dystocia. Other complications include abnormal presentations, such as breech or transverse positions, which require veterinary intervention to correct. Managing these risks involves careful monitoring, proper nutrition, and sometimes, medical intervention to ensure the health and safety of both the cow and the calf during the birthing process This OB Chain is Strong! Tested to withstand a minimum of 1,200 lbs. of pull  ‍
