It is made for dairy and beef farmers, stockpersons and smallholders who give cow magnets as part of routine herd health management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIts long shaft keeps your hand away from the molars while the shaped head grips the magnet until you release it at the back of the throat.
