Best anti suckling device

aghost

Just wondering what the best method to stop nuisance cows suckling other cows. I only know of the one with the prongs you tighten on the nose with a wing nut. they work well while they are on the nose. The problem is keeping them there, no matter how much you tighten they get them off, they fall between slats etc, you end up buying another. I really hate them yokes.

if thats the one with the thorns on it then its no use , a better one is the one that baschically looks like a bull ring , while their are no thorns on it , it doesnt fall out like the other one , its a spring tight one rather than one you tighten with a wingnut , you have to strech it quite hard to fit it in on the cows nose but once there , wont budge

Thanks for that irish bob, all the local agri store has or ever had were them i mentioned. I will have to look around elsewhere. Her days are numbered.
