Sharpvet bull lead without chain

Details

Getting a bull to move where you want him without a head gate comes down to the nose, and doing it with a hand and a fistful of nostril is how people get hurt. A nose lead does the same job with spring pressure and ball ends against the septum, keeping your hand away from the animal and giving you something solid to attach a lead to. This is the lead supplied without a chain. That is deliberate rather than an omission, because plenty of operations already have the rope or chain they prefer, in the length that suits their setup, and would rather rig their own than pay for one they will take straight off. If you want the chain included, the same lead is made in a chained version, so check which one you are ordering, because the two look identical in a photograph. Close it under control rather than snapping it shut, and never tie an animal solid by the nose lead. The lead is for guiding and holding, and a tied animal that panics can do itself real damage. Check the spring and the ball ends for wear before each use, keep the pivot clean and dry, and hang it up to store rather than leaving it in the bottom of a bucket.
