With wearables becoming the “must have” for dairy and, more recently, for beef operations, fitting collars for virtual fencing or health monitoring can be an awkward and potentially risky job in the cattle yards. Handling specialist Te Pari has developed CollarBoss, a specially designed head-bail system with an integrated neck extender, to offer safe, controlled access when installing or adjusting cow collars. Designed and manufactured to complement the proven Te Pari C1000 Head-bail – fitted as standard on the company’s manual and pneumatic cattle crushes – the accessory uses hydraulically-operated neck extenders to the front of the head-bail to gently and securely position the cow’s neck, to offer clear access to fit collars without putting operators in harm’s way. CollarBoss makes the process straightforward and controlled, utilising a hand-operated hydraulic pump, removing the need for a power supply or electric actuation, with the benefit of making the unit suitable for remote set-ups around a property. Showcased at the recent Southern Field Days, the system was awarded 1st place in the Farm Innovation Awards, recognising the practical value it delivers to farmers considering adopting the use of wearable collar technology. The system can be retrofitted to existing compatible systems, allowing you to upgrade your setup without replacing the entire crush. Visit www.tepari.com #TE_PARI #WEARABLES
