Cattle Prod

Find the Ideal Cattle Prod in Our Online Store

A cattle prod is used to move cattle or other livestock. As much as graziers prefer not to use a prod, working with livestock is unpredictable, and sometimes the use of a prod is necessary. If a large animal decides to stand its ground and refuses to move, the situation could escalate and become dangerous. Using a cattle prod merely removes the animal from that zone and gets them moving again. We have a range of prods available at AVOCA iD.

What You Should Know About an Electric Cattle Prod

The primary reason farmers use cattle prods is for moving animals through handling facilities and trucks. The prod nudges the animal toward its destination, but you must keep a few conditions in mind when using an electric cattle prod.

• You will notice electric pods have a high and low selector switch. Always use the low switch for small animals. We advise that when you use the electric prod, the contact points engage with the animal on the rear flank or upper back leg of the animal.
• As a farmer of livestock, you must be aware of the procedure when handling cattle or any other group of animals for that matter. You should never use the electric prod on a wet animal as it could have dire consequences. Furthermore, the prod should be your last resort to move an animal and when it’s become clear that there is a threat to life.
• Over prodding harms the animals. Once an animal begins moving, it shouldn’t be urged on with a prod. Furthermore, prodding animals at the back of the herd won’t make the cattle at the front move any faster.

• While discussing the industry with other graziers, we realised that there are considerable discrepancies in the price, availability and service amongst the current options in the market.
