Cattle Webbing and Spaying Specialist
I have been spaying and webbing cows and heifers for approximately 40 years. My personal experience shows that webbing cows is an easier process than that of spaying. Webbing is easier on the animal with less internal components removed i.e fallopian tubes, of which have a small blood supply thus giving you a clean procedure with minimal blood loss. Animals that have been webbed are less stressed and consequently settle easier.
Webbing essentially gives livestock owners the opportunity for greater sales projections because when you web a cow in calf you get the added bonus of an extra calf for the season. Other methods do not allow this, spaying a cow in calf will terminate the fetus. Therefore, when I arrive at a station to process livestock I am not hindered by the process of webbing as in calf or not, they will all undertake the webbing procedure.
Another popular method of livestock obstetrics is the Willis method, whereby ovaries are removed from the bovine. Heifers do not have large attachments which make them good too spay. For ease of operation I find it is best doing heifers at about score 3 condition and around 150 kgs -350 kgs. Cows can be spayed in all types of conditions.
Over the years I have seen an increase in demand for livestock reproduction procedures, ranging from webbing to spaying. I now offer courses and equipment sales because I have encountered the difficulties in obtaining such skills and tools necessary to get the job done.
