Shearing and Hair Maintenance in Cattle

For over 50 years, Terwagne Ciney has been the trusted partner for cattle farmers in France and Belgium. We are proud to offer a wide range of high-quality farming equipment and specialized services, such as shearing and hair maintenance for cattle. In this category, you will find the necessary tools to ensure the shearing of your cattle and hair care products.

The Importance of Shearing and Hair Maintenance in Cattle

Shearing the hair in cattle is not just an aesthetic concern (as in the case of clipping for cattle shows). It also plays a crucial role in the animal's overall well-being and health. By removing excess hair, you facilitate the regulation of the animal's body temperature, reduce the risk of parasites, and ensure a more thorough skin inspection. Moreover, regular shearing allows for better observation of the animal's physical condition, thus enabling prompt intervention in case of health issues.

Shearing Equipment: A Variety of Choices for Farmers

It is crucial to use high-quality shearing and grooming tools to ensure a safe and efficient process. At Terwagne Ciney, we offer a wide range of clippers specifically designed to meet the needs of farmers.

The Heiniger Xtra, Xpert, and Xperience clipper models are among the most popular on the market. They are available in both mains-powered and battery-operated versions to suit all requirements. These robust and high-performance clippers are ideal for general shearing and regular maintenance.

We also offer the Aesculap range of cattle clippers, known for their reliability and durability. Like the Heiniger clippers, these models are available in both mains-powered and battery-operated versions.

Using Sheep Shearing Heads on Cattle: Optimization and Time Savings

Cattle farmers are constantly seeking ways to optimize their time and resources. In this context, using sheep shearing heads when shearing cattle has proven particularly effective. It is a widely adopted practice, especially when the animals are dirty.

Indeed, sheep shearing heads are designed to efficiently handle thicker and dirtier fleeces, which are commonly found in sheep. This makes them particularly useful for shearing cattle when they are dirty. Consequently, instead of wasting precious time cleaning the animal before shearing, farmers can proceed directly to the shearing operation, achieving significant time savings.

Which Clipper Comb to Choose for Cattle Shearing?

In addition to using sheep shearing heads, the choice of clipper comb also plays a crucial role in the quality of the final shearing result. A comb with fewer teeth offers a coarser cut, while a comb with more teeth provides a finer and more detailed cut.

Thus, by using a 25-tooth comb, instead of the classic 13-tooth comb, you achieve a finish almost as fine as with a specific cattle shearing head. This not only optimizes shearing time but also results in a more aesthetically pleasing and more comfortable outcome for the animal.

At Terwagne Ciney, we offer a wide range of clipper combs with different numbers of teeth to meet the specific needs of each farmer.

Thus, the combination of a sheep shearing head with a 25-tooth comb is an advantageous solution for cattle shearing, offering both time savings and quality finishing.

Clipper Combs: The Key to Effective Shearing for Your Cattle

Using appropriate clipper combs is essential to ensure uniform and effective shearing. At Terwagne Ciney, we have a wide range of clipper combs suitable for different types of hair and skin conditions.
