Every farm should have good facilities for examining cows.
If a cow is not well her production, condition and fertility can suffer so it is a priority to identify and treat a lame or sick cow early.
A Wrangler at the shed makes the job quick, easy and safe so staff are inclined to check cows at the first sign of trouble, preventing a condition becoming more serious. Vets now insist on good facilities, with many specifying their clients must have a Wrangler for them to use.
Available with a headbail gate or walk-through headbail, the Wrangler also has two underbelly girths that hold the cow during treatment.
For hoofcare, the back leg is winched onto a support bar with a clapper or braked stainless steel winch. The front hoof also is easy to access while it is held on a support block by a double strap mechanism, with front winches standard on all models. The cow cannot kick or go down and can't hurt herself or the farmer, making it a hassle-free job that will no longer be put off.
It is equally as useful for calving, caesarians, liver biopsies, re-tagging, and other animal handling jobs.
Winter is a good time for shed improvements so check out the full Wrangler range at Fieldays site F60 and order early to be ready for the new season.
