Hand-Held Calf Snatcher

Hand-Held Calf Snatcher LIVESTOCK Beef 18-6-13 "My new hand-held `Calf Snatcher' makes it easy to catch a calf by the neck. It keeps a pre-formed loop all the time so it's always ready for use," says Norman Alm, Helena, Mont. Made from PVC pipe, the "Calf Snatcher" is stored with the loop eye hooked over a tab on the handle end. You pop the loop off the tab, slide the eye down the pipe to form a catch loop, then rotate the pipe in either direction to open the loop. "It's much easier to use and more humane than a sheep hook or lasso," says Alm. "You can use it on horseback or standing in the back of a pickup, 4-wheel ATV, or even from a tractor cab. The PVC pipe is easy to keep clean." Sells for $29.95. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Cowboss Products, P.O. Box 9151, Helena, Mont. 59601 (ph 800 984-7773 or 406 458-5111).
