"They just work. I must be happy with them; I've got 2"
"We had always used a drop cradle for calf marking, which was far more physically demanding. The spin a calf has been a much safer, and far quicker way of marking our calves without that physical demand. It has been a great investment and we now can’t imagine calf marking any other way!"
"It removes stress for the operator and especially the calf. The kick guard is a shin saver, and it far exceeds ease of use compared to any other calf cradle."
