The "Anti-sucking" guards may be easily swung to the side, back against the stanchion, when you wish to clean out the cement trough in front of the stanchion; or may be removed entirely; when in use to separate the calves it is held rigidly. There are no sharp fittings on the pen against which the calves can injure themselves. For the first few weeks of its life the calf's skull is soft and a sharp blow against it will greatly injure and sometimes kill the little animal.
