Fitting cattle collars

Fitting cattle collars is straightforward, but important to get right.

Attach strap

Loop chain through the strap.

Lock chain

Lock the chain in the metal catch on each side.

Test fit

Adjust the chain so the collar can not slip over the cow’s ears.

Fitting best practices

Collar shouldn't touch the chin

The collar should not pass the chin of the cow, so it does not scrape along the ground while grazing.

Room for growth

Make sure there is enough space for the cow to grow or gain weight during the season.

Important: Avoid incorrect fitting

If a collar is fitted incorrectly, you can cause harm to the animal and damage to the collar. Handle collar fitting with care for both the animal and your safety. This collar is too tight and could cause discomfort or injury.
