FAQ
What animals is this halter for?
It is a cattle halter, suitable for cattle and similar livestock that need leading, tying or restraining during routine handling.
Why choose cotton rope over other materials?
Cotton rope is softer against the coat and skin, so it is less likely to cause itching or irritation to the animal during handling.
Can I leave an animal tied in this halter?
Never leave an animal tied and unattended. Tie only to a safe, solid point using a quick-release knot and stay within sight.
How do I get the fit right?
Position the nose loop on the muzzle and the head loop behind the ears, then adjust so the halter is secure but not tight. Re-check the fit once the animal moves, as a loose halter can slip and an over-tight one causes discomfort.
How should I clean and store it?
Shake off loose dirt, rinse if needed and allow the cotton to dry naturally away from direct heat. Store dry and inspect regularly, replacing the halter if the rope frays or thins.
Will it work for youngstock as well as adult cattle?
The soft cotton is well suited to youngstock being taught to lead, provided the halter is adjusted to fit that animal's head correctly before use.
