How often should I check the collar fit?
It is recommended to check the fit at least once a week as young calves grow quickly.
Can the collar be left on 24/7?
Yes, provided it is properly fitted and monitored regularly to ensure it does not restrict the animal as it grows.
Is the material weather-resistant?
Yes, it is built to withstand standard farming conditions, including exposure to moisture and outdoor elements.
What is the function of the D-link?
The D-link provides an additional attachment point, offering extra versatility for tethering or management tasks.
Troubleshooting

Adjust the buckle to tighten the fit, ensuring it remains comfortable but secure.
Ring or D-link is stuck due to dirt buildup
Rinse the hardware under running water and use a soft brush to remove dried manure or mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, place the collar around the calf's neck, ensuring that the oval ring and D-link are positioned for easy access. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and the calf's skin to ensure it is not too tight. Regularly inspect the stitching and hardware for signs of corrosion or fraying. Clean the collar periodically with mild soap and water to remove debris or dried mud, which can cause irritation to the calf's skin over time. Ensure the collar is removed or loosened as the animal reaches a weight where the diameter of their neck significantly increases.
