DR Franks Calf Puller is the original obstetrical instrument developed by B.N.Frank,DVM,a specialist instrument that has proven its effectiveness year after year in thousands of calving cases.
The uniform tension of this unique fetal extractor does not permit slipping or backing-up of the jack.
Traction on the calf and the counter-thrust against the cow induce spreading of the pelvic bones, elevation of the abdomen, and arching of the animal’s back, all assisting in the natural birthing process.
The entire unit can easily be assembled in minutes.
Rods unscrew for easy storage.
Optional spares kit contains 6 cams and 2 springs.

Calf Eze is engineered for the user that prefers a dual action pull,or zig-zag motion,instead of a single pull instrument.
Calf Eze is superior to ratchet style pullers that rely on grooved shafts with sharp edges and hard to clean grooves.
Calf Eze utilises the same non-slip cam traction system as the Dr Frank’s Fetal Extractor,but has two pulling points that alternately advance to shift the pull from one leg to the other.
The dual-action jack body is made of special strength aluminium and weighs only 8kg.
The jack release mechanism allows the user to easily position the jack on the rods and lock it in place.
Steel cams prevent slipping and provide longer jack life.
A third chain hook is also provided to give a single pull option.
The Calf Eze is supplied with two 110cm OB Chains.
Spares Kit contains 4 cams and 2 springs.
