Calf weaning collar
PLEASE EMAIL US RE: SHIPPING TIMING BEFORE PURCHASING hello@heimweeantiques.com
Here’s a piece of farm ingenuity that feels equal parts medieval and practical. This primitive bentwood collar, circa 1850s, was crafted from ash with leather fittings and fitted with five hand-forged iron spikes. The purpose? To keep a calf from nursing by giving mama cow a not-so-subtle prod every time the youngster tried to sneak a sip. The craftsmanship is raw and utilitarian, with the weathered wood and blacksmith-made spikes telling the story of rural necessity over comfort. Measures 8.25" W x 1" D x 9.75" H.
