New Way to Bring Calves Home LIVESTOCK Beef 17-5-29 You can move calves without ever having to lift them by hand with the new Calf Tote invented by Leonard Berghoefer, Hampton, Iowa.
The new two-wheeled cart is equipped with long handles in front and a pair of pair of curved prongs in back. You slide the prongs under the calf and then lower the handles to lift it off the ground.
"I designed it after I developed back problems and could no longer lift a struggling 70 to 100-lb. calf. The calf rests on the carrier in a natural position, and the cow's natural instinct causes her to follow behind. You can pull the cart behind an ATV for long distances. By bracing the handles on a fence rail, you can use the cart as a portable treatment table for vaccine shots, ear tags, etc. By removing four pins, you can slip the prongs out and replace them with a box for use as a utility cart."
Available with pneumatic or solid rubber tires. Sells for about $400.
