Abstract:

The newborn bovine ear protector is protective apparel made of weather resistant, moisture resistant, man-made material, having openings for eyes and mouth, which fits securely onto and around the snout of the animal from nose toward neck over top of head, and ears. Its purpose is to protect the newborn bovine from frost-bite or freezing of its ears, a problem that can result in loss of market value. It is held in place: (A) by way of re-sealable closure strips, which fasten across the back of the neck of the animal enclosing a section of the material and (B) by the conformity of the apparel to the head and snout of the animal. It can be humanly removed by physically disengaging the closure and guiding the apparel back across the snout toward the nose of the animal.
