Agri Health Cattle Sisal Halter for Livestock
Description
Agri Health Cattle Sisal Halter — Traditional Natural Rope Handling
The Agri Health Cattle Sisal Halter is a natural rope halter made from sisal, the fibre of the Agave sisalana plant, and is used to lead, tie or restrain cattle and other livestock. It is best for farmers, smallholders and stockpeople who want a tough, traditional halter for everyday handling rather than a synthetic webbing alternative.
Sisal rope is hard-wearing with a natural elasticity, so it gives a little under pressure and grips well in the hand. This halter is also available in a version with an adjustable metal ring for handlers who prefer a fixed adjustment point.

FAQ
What is a sisal halter made from?
Sisal is a natural fibre taken from the Agave sisalana plant. It is spun into a tough, durable rope with a nice degree of elasticity, which is why it has long been used for livestock halters.
What is this halter used for?
It is used to lead, tie or restrain livestock if necessary. Typical jobs include moving animals between pens, holding for inspection or handling stock in hand.
Is there an adjustable version?
Yes, this halter is also available with an adjustable metal ring, which gives a fixed point for tightening and releasing the noseband.
How do I get the fit right?
The noseband should sit on the bridge of the nose with the headpiece behind the ears. Take up the slack so the halter is secure without pinching, and check the fit on each individual animal, as head sizes vary between calves, heifers and mature cattle.
How do I care for a sisal halter?
Allow it to air-dry fully after use in wet conditions and store it dry, away from direct heat. Inspect the rope regularly and replace it if the fibres fray, thin or show damage.
Can it be used on other livestock?
It is designed as a cattle halter, but it can be used to lead, tie or restrain other livestock where the fit is appropriate for the animal's head.
