Description
Agri Health Bull Cotton Halter - Comfortable Cotton Rope Livestock Handling
The Agri Health Bull Cotton Halter is a cotton rope halter made for leading, tying and restraining livestock around the farm. It is best suited to cattle keepers, smallholders and stock handlers who want an economical, comfortable halter for everyday handling tasks.
Because the halter is made from cotton rope rather than a coarse synthetic, it is less likely to cause itch or irritation where it sits against the animal's head - useful when stock are haltered regularly for weighing, veterinary work, loading or show preparation.

How to Use
- Lay the halter out and identify the nosepiece and the headpiece before approaching the animal.
- Approach calmly from the side and slip the nosepiece over the muzzle.
- Bring the headpiece up behind the ears and adjust so the halter sits securely without pinching.
- Check that the nosepiece sits on the bridge of the nose, not low on the soft part of the muzzle.
- Lead from the side, keeping the lead end folded in your hand rather than wrapped around it.
- When tying, use a secure post or ring and a quick-release knot, and never leave the animal unattended.
FAQ
What is the Agri Health Bull Cotton Halter used for?
It is designed to lead, tie or restrain livestock on the farm - for example during weighing, veterinary treatment, loading or show preparation.
What is the halter made from?
It is made from cotton rope, which is comfortable against the animal and less likely to cause itch or irritation than coarser materials.
Is a cotton halter better than a synthetic one?
Cotton is generally kinder against the skin and more comfortable to hold, which makes it a good choice for animals that are haltered frequently. Synthetic ropes may shed water more readily, so many farms keep both.
Can I leave an animal tied in this halter?
No animal should be left tied unsupervised. Always tie to a secure point using a quick-release knot and stay within sight.
How do I care for the halter?
Shake off loose dirt after use and let the cotton rope dry naturally away from direct heat. Inspect it regularly and take it out of service if the fibres are frayed or thinning.
Will it fit young stock as well as bulls?
It is designed as a bull halter for cattle. Always check the fit on the individual animal before use and choose a size appropriate to the head it is going on.
