The “Calf Catcher” (similar to the "Nordfork") or the "Nord Fork" style of branding fixture. is a device that fits behind the head of a calf, to help hold it while the ground crew works (vaccinates, castrates, brands, etc.) the calf. You can also visit MYCALFCATCHER.COM to see videos and get more information.
We have taken similar products, worked with our own cattle and local ranchers to develop this redesigned fixture. I continue to make slight adjustments and work with cattlemen and women to make calf catcher perfect in every way. They are adjustable for large or small calves.
To use a Calf Catcher, a mounted rider heels the calf, then drags it past the ground crew. As the calf goes by, one of the ground crew members slips the Calf Catcher behind the calf's head. As the heeler continues to drag the calf, a rope and inner tube is tied to the Calf Catcher and staked into the ground. When the rope and inner tube are tight, the heeler quits dragging. The heeler continues to hold the heel rope as the calf is worked. The Calf Catcher holds the front end of the calf, so it can easily be rolled and handled.
