Provides an entirely new approach to difficult calvings with its dual-action design. One of the handles allows you to move the two separate hooks alternately, pulling first one limb and then, with the next movement of the handle, the other limb. The most difficult calf presentation can be zigzagged out in this manner. The extra-long 65-inch, no-slip shaft disassembles in the middle. Breech is supplied with an adjustable, easy-to-clean chain.
Labeled for: beef and dairy cattle
Species: cattle
Use caution when using the Hercules Fetal Extractor. Too much pressure will cause damage to the calf.
Thread rod completely together. Position breech spanner at floor of birth canal on pin bones of the cow. Secure location with web belt.
PLEASE NOTE: Allowing the breech spanner to slip lower than the pin bones will dramatically increase chances of damaging your equipment and injuring the calf.
Slip breech spanner onto cone-shaped end of rod. Position ratchet close to breech. Attach one chain to each leg as recommended. For easiest and safest delivery of the calf, cranking should only occur while the cow presses.
During delivery, position Hercules Fetal Extractor horizontally at first (relative to standing cow). Gradually angle the end of the pole toward the ground as delivery progresses. The direction of traction and that of the fetus as it passes through the birth canal is in that of an arc. Any pressure used to position rod should be applied at mid-point of rod.
