Easywean encourages your comments.

We are keen to hear of your experiences and combined with ours, strive to make our product and service better.

To fit:

Undo the wingnut to last few threads allowing maximum flexibility.
Put one end of the ring into nostril of the calf with the spikes facing forwards and upwards, then pull across and push into other nostril.
"Flipping" the nostril across with your index finger tends to make fitting much easier than just trying to drag it over.
Tighten the bolt until firm and then loosen it off so the ring has just enough free play to move up and down in the nose….any looser and you will have some fall out!
Return calf to the mother and leave for as long as necessary to wean the calf; we suggest 4 to 6 weeks.
Some suckling may still occur over this period - but reduced volume usually will not sustain lactation.

To remove:

Undo the wingnut to last few threads allowing maximum flexibility and pull ring off.
Suggest using one glove to allow firm grip on ring and avoid a scratch or catching fingers in ring.
A head restraint on bail head can improve efficiency and safety.
If an end has penetrated the septum (between nostrils) twisting the ring can assist removal.
Multigrips or even bolt cutters could be useful in a few difficult cases.
