Vilhauer Sales’ new calf catcher is the perfect solution for any cattle producer. This product keeps you safe and separated from the cow when working with calves in the open pasture or lot. This catcher is one of the safest and most humane ways of dealing  young calves. The mother and her calf remain calmer because they can see each other while remaining separated. With the added calf holder functioning as a work table, you can safely administer preventative vaccinations, treatments, record weights, and apply identification leading to better overall herd health and genetics. This calf catcher was extensively prototype tested on a local South Dakota farm before it was put into production. As such, it has been refined and ruggedized to last you long into the future.
