Guest guest Posted November 10, 1999 Report Share Posted November 10, 1999 PAMHO AGTSP. I read with interest your diary of events in Ireland. We have a device here in NZ called a "Hoofnac". Many of our younger trained cows/oxen are ok to do their feet but as I'm sure for many farms around the world, it is an issue especially with older untrained cows/oxen. This device simply has a vice at the bottom that can be screwed onto any rail of a race. It then simply unfolds into a right angle with the top bar sticking out across the back of the cow (not touching the back though). From this bar you draw down a soft but strong rope that you loop around just above the hock and fix it with the ring . You then simply winch up the leg not too high, just enough to treat the hoof. This hoofnac comes with a video and I could get pamphlets and send them to anyone who may be interested.
