Old Clip Iron ring – Bulldogs – animal nose grips or clamp

Self-locking or spring-closing show-lead nose rings, also called “bulldogs” or nose grips, are removable rings that do not require the nose to be pierced. They are often used on steers and cows, along with a halter, at agricultural shows, or when handling cattle for examination, marking or treatment. They stay shut until released, and usually have a loop for the attachment of a cord or lead rope. They give similar control to a bull ring without the need for permanent attachment. Measures 4 1/2″ x 2 1/2″. Will open to about 4″.
