Well, I tried these on some fall calving pairs. Took a bit to figure them out. Results are as follows-

30% of the calves had to be redone the next day. I took a pair of pliers and really tightened the wingnut.

one of them lost the plastic ball on the nose part, so it wasn't operator error.

2 calves had them out two days later.

One heifer I swear has become an artist at getting hers out. Sems like i find them along a fence line like they are hooking them and pulling them off.

Cows bellered a fair amount first two days. Silent on the third day.

I see a couple of calves are smart enough to manipulate a teat around these things, but mothers bags are pretty engourged, so I am thinking they aren't getting much.

Will see in a few days when I pull the cows out.

Calves have been creep fed and vaccinated three times. They are growing well and hopefully will see minimal sickness.
