How to Use
- Wash your hands and arms, put on clean calving gloves and use plenty of obstetric lubricant.
- Check the presentation of the calf before applying any traction.
- Place one loop of each rope above the fetlock joint on a front leg, then position the second loop below the joint to spread the load.
- Apply steady, even traction in time with the cow's contractions, pulling one leg slightly ahead of the other to ease the shoulders through.
- Release the ropes as soon as the calf is delivered and clear its airways.
- Rinse, disinfect and dry the ropes fully before returning them to the calving kit.
FAQ
How many ropes are included?
The ropes are supplied as a pair, so you receive two calving ropes - one for each front leg.
What does the 2 loop design mean?
Each rope has two loops, which lets you place one loop above the fetlock and one below it so traction is spread across the leg rather than concentrated in one place.
Can these ropes be used with a calving jack?
Yes, calving ropes are commonly attached to a calving jack, but a jack should only be used by an experienced stockperson who understands how much force is being applied.
How do I clean calving ropes?
Rinse them thoroughly after every calving, clean and disinfect them, then dry them fully before storage to help maintain hygiene between calvings.
When should I call the vet instead of assisting myself?
If the calf is malpresented, if there is no progress with steady traction, or if you are unsure at any stage, stop and contact your vet.
How long do calving ropes last?
That depends on use and cleaning. Inspect them before every calving and withdraw any rope showing fraying, cuts or other signs of wear.
