Don't tell the folks at PETA, but these things are still in use
today. This one attaches a little differently, but the outcome is
still the same.

That's inhumane to mama cow, sir! How would your girlfriend like one
in your nose? You'd never kiss, lick, suck, or slurp again. =:-0


That is the new fangled version. The ones that we used were made of metal
and had a point on one end. You jammed it through the wall between the
nostrils and slipped a pin in it. It became a metal ring through the nose
with some teeth on it. So you had a ring through the nose which would come
in handylater in life if you needed to move the cow. a rope through the
ring made any livestock totally obedient.

That's less inhumane.
