Agri Health Bull Holder Tongs for Cattle Handling
Description
Agri Health Bull Holder Tongs - Stainless Steel Cattle Restraint
The Agri Health Bull Holder Tongs are a stainless steel handling device used to secure cattle by the nostrils so the head can be held steady for drenching and other routine tasks. They are designed for farmers, stockpeople and smallholders who need reliable, straightforward restraint when working with bulls and cattle.
The tongs are inserted into the nostrils and a rope is attached to them, then passed over a beam so the head can be pulled up and held in position. With a 44 cm handle length and plastic gripped handle ends, they combine leverage with a secure hold. You will find more livestock handling equipment in our yard and stable equipment collection.
