Agri Health Stainless Steel Long Bullholder Tongs 53cm
Description
Agri Health Stainless Steel Long Bullholder Tongs - 53cm Cattle Nose Holder
The Agri Health Long Bullholder Tongs are a 53cm (21in) stainless steel cattle restraint tool that grips the animal's nasal septum to steady the head during handling. They are best for farmers, stock handlers and vets who need controlled, short-term head restraint for bulls, cows and larger youngstock in a crush or handling race.
Made from high quality stainless steel, the extra-long handles keep the handler further back from the head than standard bullholders, which makes the tool a sensible choice for larger or livelier animals. Browse more yard and livestock kit in our stable and yard equipment collection.
