Vink Calfpuller
The Vink Calfpuller is a safe, hands-free calf delivery tool that won’t slip out of place. Providing a smooth pull which is evenly distributed between both forelegs, the Vink Calfpuller nearly eliminates calf injuries caused when one leg at a time is subjected to the full pulling force.

| How the Vink Calfpuller works The rump-frame locates securely onto the rear of the cow, allowing the herdsman hands-free to help. The frame itself does not obstruct the cow, calf or herdsman. The 10 cm free stroke feature the Vink Calfpuller offers enables synchronized pulls and rests with the cow's natural contractions. This feature is vital to ensure continuous blood flow to the calf. When necessary, tension can be instantly and completely released by pushing the lever towards the cow. Click to hide this box |
| Helpful in difficult presentations The Vink Calfpuller apparatus consists of two main parts: the ratchet pole with lever mechanism and the rump-frame with pivoting-fork. All parts are constructed in stainless steel. The unique rump-frame with pivoting-fork encircles the rear of the cow making it impossible for the frame to slip away from the cow. The pivoting-fork is an original design feature, which permits the herdsman to direct the pulling tension from the lever mechanism in the ideal way: Downwards for a normal birth and upwards for breach presentations. This feature gives the Vink Calfpuller its "single-handed" ability because it needs no extra person to hold it in place to prevent slipping. Click to hide this box |

Pivoting fork design, eliminates slipping
Optional "Tension Indicator"
The Vink Calfpuller offers a revolutionary option to fit a special lever mechanism which will give a good indication of the amount of tension being exerted on the calf. This is calibrated from 0 to 250 kg, more than which it is not advisable to apply.
It is not possible to specify exactly what power is to be used - this mechanism will help to gain experience and during training sessions.
Excessive pulling during later stages of birth with consequent damage to cow or calf can be more easily avoided using this new development.
