Plastic Balling Gun

Getting a large bolus into a cow goes easier when the tool feeds smoothly and releases clean. This plastic balling gun is built for that job, economical enough to keep several around and sturdy enough for repeated use in the barn.

It is made in the USA from high-density polyethylene and is designed to be reusable and semi-disposable. That makes it a good fit for a sick pen or a shared vet box, where a gun you can set aside after a job is the practical choice.

It is sized for large boluses in beef, feedlot and dairy cattle, with a 17-inch reach that keeps your hand out of the mouth.

Highlights

• Reusable and semi-disposable design
• Durable plastic body for repeated barn use
• Economical enough to keep a spare in the truck
• Made in the USA
• Head matched to the bolus for a clean release

Why choose a plastic balling gun

A plastic gun is light to carry and cheap enough to keep one in the barn and another in the truck. When a bolus needs to go down fast, having the right gun on hand means the treatment doesn't wait.

It is for sick-pen and feedlot treatment, when a bolus needs to go down quickly, and for a vet box where you want equipment that stays with the herd. A balling gun that is ready in the truck is one less trip to the barn.

It suits cow-calf producers, feedlots and dairy operations, and anyone with mature cattle that need a bolus now and then.

At a glance

How to use it

Use the gun the same way every time, and match the head to the bolus you are giving.

1. Pick the gun whose head matches the bolus, so it releases cleanly instead of hanging up.
2. Load the bolus in the gun and seat it at the tip.
3. Open the animal's mouth and place the tip at the back of the tongue.
4. Push the plunger smoothly to release the bolus, and don't force it.
5. Wipe the gun clean after each use, and store it with your vet supplies.

Good to know

• Keep a spare in the vet box so treatment isn't delayed when an animal needs it.
• Have your vet's directions on hand before you treat, since the bolus and the animal both matter.
• Pair the gun with syringes and drenchers for a complete sick-pen kit.
• Replace a gun with a cracked head or a plunger that sticks, since a worn tool slows a treatment.
