    Description

    The “Calf Catcher” (similar to the "Nordfork") or the "Nord fork" as its trade named, is a device that fits behind the head of a calf, to help hold it while the ground crew works (vaccinates, castrates, brands, etc.) the calf.
    To use a Calf Catcher, a mounted rider heels the calf, then drags it past the ground crew.  As the calf goes by, one of the ground crew members slips the Calf Catcher behind the calf's head.  As the heeler continues to drag the calf, a rope and inner tube tied to the Calf Catcher and staked into the ground tighten.  When the rope and inner tube are tight, the heeler quits dragging. The heeler continues to hold the heel rope as the calf is worked.  The Calf Catcher holds the front end of the calf, so it can easily be rolled and handled.
    These are incredibly hard to find! As far as I know we are the only company that manufactures this product on a mass-scale. Cowboys and ranchers know exactly what this item is and the value of it.
    Branding fixture is shipped with an inner tube and ground stake. You add the length of rope(s)...generally 8'-10' per side. If you would like to see this work-please view it at mycalfcatcher . com
