Hook Doctor
Ritchey Hook Doctor – Safe Livestock Control Tool
The Ritchey Hook Doctor is the first and only tool of its kind—a dual-purpose livestock handling solution designed specifically for cattlemen. Built for safety, control, and efficiency, it helps producers handle cattle and calves more safely while protecting themselves and their crew.
The large hook is designed to safely control an animal’s head by hooking the cheek, while the smaller hook is ideal for catching calves under 125 pounds by the leg. Whether tagging, mouthing, administering boluses, or sorting calves, the Hook Doctor makes routine jobs faster, easier, and less stressful for both handler and livestock.
