Cow pacifier has multiple uses

The ploughing was a nice break for Brian Scott, who is usually busy hoof-trimming about 10,000 cattle per year, and freeze-branding a similar number.
Cow pacifier has multiple uses

His Scott’s On-farm Services is based in Comber, Co Down, and he was in Co Laois marketing the NZ cow pacifier, which immobilises cattle, and can be used for breaking-in heifers; for all work on udders, feet and heads such as teat sealing, tubing, clipping, dehorning, castrating, pinkeye treatment, ear tagging, hoof trimming, freeze branding, or all veterinary work.

Powered by a 12-volt rechargeable battery, the pacifier is inserted in the cow’s back passage and acts on the femoral nerves.
