The Vink Calf Puller is a premium heavy-duty cattle calving aid designed to provide controlled assistance during difficult calvings. Its functional single-handed design allows an experienced operator to control the puller while maintaining effective traction during assisted delivery.
This Australian-supplied VINK model features a longer 1.8m pole with a larger, heavier-duty tube, providing greater leverage with reduced effort when assisting difficult cattle births.

Important: The Vink Calf Puller is specialist calving equipment intended for experienced operators. Incorrect positioning or excessive traction can cause serious injury to the cow or calf. Seek veterinary assistance when a difficult calving cannot be safely resolved.
The Vink Calf Puller is a mechanical cattle calving aid designed to assist experienced cattle producers when controlled traction is required during a difficult birth.
Sometimes referred to as a calving jack or mechanical calf puller, the VINK system is designed so the rump frame sits securely against the cow while controlled traction is applied to assist delivery.
One of the key features of the Vink Calf Puller is its single-handed operating design. The rump frame is positioned securely against the rear of the cow, helping provide a stable working position while traction is controlled through the puller.
This can give an experienced operator greater control during an assisted delivery compared with relying solely on manual pulling.
The VINK calf puller supplied through Bainbridge features a 1.8 metre pole with a larger tube made from heavier material than commonly sold alternatives.
The longer pole provides increased mechanical leverage, helping generate the required controlled pulling force with less operator effort during difficult births.
The VINK design allows traction to be applied straight, upwards or in the direction of the udder.
This flexibility allows an experienced operator to alter the direction of traction when appropriate as an assisted delivery progresses.
Control is particularly important when mechanical assistance is being used during calving. If the delivery becomes complicated, the Vink system allows traction to be released immediately.
This provides the operator with the ability to stop applying pulling force quickly when circumstances change.
The Vink Calf Puller is positioned as a premium option for cattle producers wanting a heavy-duty, single-handed mechanical calving aid with a long 1.8m pole and flexible traction direction.
For producers comparing different cattle calving systems, also consider the VINK Beef Puller 1.8m and the Bainbridge HK2020 Calf Puller.
These products provide cattle producers with different mechanical calving-aid designs, so compare the operating system, intended application and individual product specifications before selecting equipment.
Our Calf Pullers Explained – Choosing a Calving Aid for Cattle guide provides a broader overview of what to consider when comparing cattle calving equipment.
Mechanical calf pullers can generate substantial traction and should only be used by someone with appropriate knowledge and experience in assisted calving.
Before using a calf puller, the calf's presentation and position should be assessed and the operator should determine whether assisted vaginal delivery is appropriate.
Do not use excessive force. Incorrect positioning or excessive traction can cause serious injury to both the cow and calf.
If the calf's position is uncertain, adequate progress cannot be achieved safely or there is any doubt about whether the calf can be delivered, contact a veterinarian.

The Vink Calf Puller is a heavy-duty mechanical cattle calving aid designed to provide controlled traction during an assisted delivery when used by an experienced operator.
Calf puller and calving jack are commonly used terms for mechanical equipment designed to assist with controlled traction during cattle calving. The VINK system uses a distinctive rump-frame and lever design.
The VINK model supplied through Bainbridge features a 1.8m pole. Bainbridge states that its longer pole and heavier tube provide greater leverage with reduced effort during difficult births.
Yes. The VINK Calf Puller is specifically designed for single-handed operation by an appropriately experienced operator.
The VINK design permits traction straight, upwards and in the direction of the udder, allowing the direction of pulling force to be adjusted when appropriate during delivery.
Yes. If the birth becomes complicated, the VINK design allows the operator to release traction immediately.
Both are mechanical cattle calving aids, but they use different operating designs. The VINK features a single-handed rump-frame system and 1.8m pole, while the HK2020 uses a threaded shaft and traction assembly with three hooks for even or reciprocal pulling.
A calf puller should not be used when the calf's presentation or position has not been appropriately assessed, when excessive force would be required, or when the calf cannot safely pass through the birth canal. Veterinary assistance should be sought when there is uncertainty or the delivery is not progressing safely.
