Debudding and dehorning of stronger calves can be a difficult exercise. This positive restraint solves the problem.
The calf's head is manoeuvred into the restraint, and then the chain is secured down over the calf's crown.
The restraint design ensures easy access to the calf's horns.
When the job is done, release the chain and the calf is on its way.
The dehorning restraint will fit standard over timber rails to 45mm (1 3/4 inch) width, or with slight adjustment to the rail, 55mm (2 1/8 inch) width.
Here is a tip, mount this restraint on the back of your 4 wheel bike, and along with our Vulkan or Portasol Butane debudder, or your Buddex re-chargeable debudder, and you have a real mobile debudding operation!
