Description
Vink Calving Aid with Alternate Traction Ratchet
The Vink Calving Aid with Alternate Traction Ratchet is designed to provide controlled assistance during difficult calvings. Featuring the same robust construction as the standard Vink calving aid, this upgraded model includes an alternate traction ratchet, allowing each stroke of the handle to pull one leg at a time.
This alternating action creates a natural wriggling movement, helping to ease the calf through the birth canal while maintaining controlled traction. It can be particularly useful during more challenging deliveries where steady, alternating pressure is preferred over pulling both legs simultaneously.
Supplied with a 1,800mm shaft featuring a durable 30mm section, this professional calving aid provides excellent leverage, strength and control for livestock handlers, farmers and veterinary professionals.
