About the product
This Spiked Plastic Calf Weaner is an effective, non-invasive tool designed for low-stress weaning of calves and preventing unwanted inter-sucking behavior in young cattle. Molded from high-density, durable polymer, it features outward-pointing spikes and an adjustable metal wingnut clamp that secures comfortably into the calf’s nostrils without piercing the nasal septum. When a calf attempts to nurse, the spikes press gently against the cow’s udder, causing her to step away and reject suckling. This encourages calves to transition smoothly to solid feed and milk replacer while allowing them to remain in the herd without the psychological distress of physical isolation.

Normal Eating & Drinking Freedom
