Agri Health Bullholder Tongs with Rope for Cattle
Description
Agri Health Bullholder Tongs With Rope
The Agri Health Bullholder Tongs are a stainless steel cattle handling tool supplied with 1.5m of good quality poly-rope. They are used by stockpeople, breeders and smallholders to hold and steady cattle by the nasal septum during routine husbandry tasks such as inspection, weighing, dosing, foot attention and veterinary visits.
Best for farms and yards that need a simple, durable handling tool to use alongside a crush, race or secure gate. The attached rope means the animal can be led or tied off at a safe working distance rather than held by hand at close quarters.
