A calving harness is a specialized piece of equipment used in livestock management, specifically for assisting cows during the calving process. It's designed to provide controlled traction to aid the delivery of a calf when the cow is experiencing difficulty.

Function: The primary function of a calving harness is to apply gentle, steady pulling force to help the cow expel the calf. It's used when the cow is having trouble due to factors like the calf's size or position.

Design: A calving harness typically consists of adjustable straps that are placed around the calf's legs. The harness is connected to a pulling mechanism, which can be a manual pulley system or a mechanical device.
