Read About Choosing Livestock Prods

When herding a large number of cattle back to their pen, the use of a cattle prod may be necessary to keep everyone moving forward.

Things to Consider:

  • Use Responsibly -- Cattle prods are not intended to be used as tools for punishment for cattle, nor should they be used by young children as toys. Keep them safely away when not in use.

  • Storage -- Make sure that prods are kept inside and not out, as weather can damage the units.

  • Replacements -- Both parts of a cattle prod (shaft and handle) can be replaced if one or both become damaged.
