[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1804045, member: 25884"] Most hobbles that I have seen are pretty standard like [USER=39112]@sunnyblueskies[/USER] said... I am thinking they are2- 2&1/2 to maybe 3 ft between the actual leg wrap piece???? Have one farmer that makes his own out of baling twine with a couple of wide "nylon dog collars".... and I would say that they are a good 2 ft or more between them. They want the cows to be able to walk "somewhat" normally, but not for their legs to splay out if they slip... and it keeps them together enough that when they go to push up hind legs/butt first as cow do, they pretty much work together and can't get too far apart. I will have to ask the one farmer how far apart they are . Some have the nylon leg collar and a chain between, most that use them are all nylon webbing and some have adjustable buckle for length...
