OK OK David don’t push here it comes…………………
Without further adieu…………………..
The answer is……………………
A Cow Tail Holder
I didn’t even know that there was a need for such a product, but apparently when milking cows, serious eye injury can occur from the switching of the cow tail. The device below is a cow tail holder, when in use the larger end clamps to the leg and the other end attaches to the tail. Sorry I could not find a photo of the device in use but the explanation is pretty clear I think.
It was patented in 1891, number 444,428, over 100 other patents for a wide range of contraptions that perform the same task can be found on Google patents. The inventor of a cow tail holder estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 milkmaids or milkmen received severe eye injuries each year.
Safe Work Practices on a Dairy Farm has more information on the risks and dangers of dairy farming. Just Google "Safe Work Practices on a Dairy Farm" for more than you ever wanted to know about this subject :P
