View full detailsIt's crucial to put the cows' comfort and well-being first when caring for them. The Easy Cow Lifter, Heavy Duty XL Cow Lifter, and Cow Rear Hiplift by Coburn are useful in situations like that. These devices are intended to make it easier to lift and move cows in a stress-free manner.
The ideal option for quick, secure, and safe lifting of any animal in your herd is Coburn's Easy Cow Lift. This simple-to-use cow raise offers complete support for your cows' comfort with reinforced polyester webbing crossing straps and heavy-duty PVC fabric.
The Coburn Heavy Duty XL Cow Lifter gently assists in lifting cows using a front-end loader or bucket. This device has been upgraded in order to ensure a safer and more effective lifting operation.
For those cows requiring extra support at the rear, the Cow Rear Hiplift by Coburn makes an excellent option. It offers added stability and assistance during the lifting process.
Note: A cow should only be lifted if it is highly likely it will be able to bear its own weight. Lifting cows before they’re ready to stand can do more harm than good. Please make sure you take the necessary precautions.
Cows that are down should always be made the highest priority despite whatever else is happening on the farm. They may be experiencing soreness, decreased comfortability, and most importantly stress. It is your responsibility to figure out decisions so that they receive proper care and be comfortable in their enclosure.
When you correctly diagnose, treat and nurse down cows with a very high standard, you will be able to increase their chances of recovery and reduce the stress that everyone may feel especially if you are in the busiest season on your farm.
HOW TO PREVENT DOWN COWS
There are factors that are preventable. You can always lower the chances of down cows by selecting the correct bull, providing mineral supplementation, good springer management, and accurate body condition scoring to make sure that your cows are in the right shape when it’s time for calving.
MANAGING DOWN COWS
Cows should never be left untreated especially if they are feeling stressed or in pain.
WHEN TO LIFT COWS
If you know that your cow can bear her own weight, then it is okay to lift them up. Always remember that if you try lifting a cow when they are not ready to even stand can just bring them more harm than good.
It is the wings of their pelvis where the hip lifters are attached, are not designed to bear the weight of the cow. Assist your cow to stand if they are:
USING HIP LIFTERS
Make sure to check the cow for any type of dislocations or broken bones before attempting to use your hip lifters. Hip lifters should only be used when assisting your cow to a standing position and not to suspend them. All their limbs should stay in contact with the ground when lifting.
It is very important that you do not leave the cow unattended without removing the straps and clamps. Remember that if the cow can’t stand on its own, make sure to return them to the ground slowly and try again at a later time.
