Thompson Longhorn

Calf Cradle

Description:

The calf cradle allows many husbandry operations like branding, dehorning etc. Neck and flank bars immobilize the animal preventing injury to both the operator and calf. Once the calf is caught and laid horizontally, you will gain good access for all your husbandry operations. The pivot of the bed is located so as to allow effortless work by the operator to lay the calf horizontally. The cradle’s compact design allows for single operator operation and easy relocation.
