Agri Health Irish Bullholder Tongs - Stainless Steel Cattle Nose Tongs
The Agri Health Irish Bullholder Tongs are a stainless steel cattle restraint tool that is inserted into the animal's nostrils and squeezed closed to gain control of the head. They are designed for farmers, stockpeople and smallholders who need to hold cattle steady while drenching, dosing or carrying out other routine handling tasks.
