-
TO PREVENT CALF FROM NURSING, IN ORDER TO WEAN IT FROM COW. - Technical
-
EXAMPLE OF LESS-THAN-HUMANE STYLE OF WEANING HALTER. A CALF WEARING THIS METAL-SPIKED NOSE GUARD WOULD BE ABLE TO GRAZE FREELY BUT ANY ATTEMPT TO BUNT AND SUCK FROM ITS MOTHER WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY BE REJECTED. IT SEEMS LIKELY SUCH A DEVICE WOULD PRESENT HEALTH RISK TO COWS: PRESUMABLY THE LABOUR & EXPENSE OF SEGREGATING CALVES WAS A FACTOR IN PROMOTING THEIR USE. - Area Notes
