ABSTRACT:
A device for assisting in the birth of livestock is disclosed. The device, known as a fetlock puller, is elongated, has at least one end open, and is sized so that the one open end will fit over the fetlock of an unborn animal fetus. The fetlock is the large bulge on an animal's foreleg just above the hoof. The fetlock puller is constructed of braid material which will cause the device to axially grip the foreleg as traction is applied. The device can also be used to suspend a newborn animal and hook it to a scale so it can be weighed.
