Heavy Duty Calf Puller 65 inch Ratchet Calving Extractor | SAG Surgical

Description

The heavy duty calf puller 65 inch calving extractor is a professional veterinary instrument designed to assist with difficult births (dystocia) in cattle . The SAG Surgical calf puller features a robust ratchet-style mechanism that provides controlled, steady traction for safe delivery while minimizing risk of injury to both cow and calf .

This heavy duty calf puller 65 inch extractor is uniquely crafted from German-grade anti-corrosion stainless steel, ensuring the instrument will not bend, break, or tarnish even after years of use in demanding farm environments . The extra-long shaft is designed with a non-slip surface and disassembles in the middle for convenient storage . The breech piece is supplied with an adjustable, easy-to-clean chain that fits securely against the cow’s hips .

The heavy duty calf puller 65 inch features a jack assembly with three separate hooks: two for obstetrical leg chains and one for a head sling . This unique design allows for alternating or “zig-zag” traction, where each leg is pulled in sequence, effectively “walking” the calf out and reducing strain on both the calf and the cow . The ratcheting action enables controlled pulling one click at a time, and if necessary, controlled release one click at a time . The extra-long 65-inch shaft provides excellent leverage and can be directed upwards above the cow’s spine to work in sync with natural straining .

Heavy duty calf pullers are used across various veterinary settings including dairy farms, cattle operations, veterinary clinics, and large animal facilities. This calf jack assists veterinarians and producers in managing difficult births, ensuring safer outcomes for both mother and calf. It is recommended that all producers have a calf puller, chains, and a head snare as part of their calving equipment .

Veterinary obstetrics instruments are manufactured to the highest standards using premium materials. This ensures that every heavy duty calf puller 65 inch maintains its strength and reliability for years to come. This calving extractor is designed for easy cleaning and sterilization, maintaining high hygiene standards.

SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium heavy duty calf pullers that meet the demanding requirements of modern veterinary practice. Every calving extractor undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance and safety.

Technical Specifications

Applications of Heavy Duty Calf Puller

Veterinarians and livestock producers use heavy duty calf pullers for various applications including:

• Assisting in the delivery of calves during difficult births

• Providing controlled traction in challenging calving situations

• Managing dystocia cases in cattle operations

• Safely applying “zig-zag” traction to walk the calf out 

• Reducing the risk of injury to both cow and calf

• Veterinary obstetrics and emergency calving assistance

Important Safety Considerations

• Never use a calf puller unless both shoulders and the head of the calf can be delivered into the pelvis by hand first (“Rule of Three”) .

• A calf puller can apply approximately five times the force of one person pulling (up to 400 kg / 880 lbs), so improper use can cause serious injury including broken ribs, fractured legs, or spinal fractures .

• Always double-loop the chain above the fetlock and with a half hitch below the dewclaws .

• Work with the cow’s contractions by watching her thorax and straining rhythm; never apply sustained traction .

• A calf puller should only be used by trained personnel or under veterinary supervision .
