Hey all,
Was feeling left out so I needed to throw a tool into the mix !
This will be easy some I'm sure, so if you know it- hold off till there are a few guesses?
Ignore the rust... I left it on a piece of wood & need to clean it off...

Something to do with livestock? Tagging, branding, or banding something to fall off later?
bull lead
Could get interesting if the wives learn there is a tool for their favorite fantasy. I don't want one of those in my nose.
I would like to see a full pic of your anvil...
Brian-
Too easy I guess. I'll have to dig around for something harder.
Brian- I'll take a few tonight or tomorrow and put it up in the blacksmithing section. That one is my Hay Budden... Little dusty
hehehe...Brian can spot a good anvil 3 miles away....
Once applied, a continuous firm grip is required.
memory isn't as good as was! I think my grandfather used one as a nose twitch when they worked on the cows. The bull had a ring in his nose for control. Cows and horses can be worked on when a twitch is used- don't know why it worked. Didn't work on my kids! LOL
The animal learns real quick about the pain a twitch can inflict! Horses being gelded don't even suspect what is going on in the groin when a chain twitch is properly applied to the nose!

The things I learn here. I look forward to finding one of these as I'm plowing the land. I've already cached 3 wood splitters, 4 hammers, 7 hillers, 4 various size metal rings???, several horse shoes, and more clay bricks that I care to admit. I think I've found where an old barn was on the property.

I told my wife the same early in our marriage, and she took me at my word.

Ouchy - No, but I got a 6' piece of 7/8 sucker rod with my 5' PTO tiller at 720RPM - I had to cut the new sucker rod SPRING out in 4-5" pieces. I've been trying to use the sub-soiler more before putting PTO tiller into dirt :)

I have also found that PTO driven rotary mower attachments and barbed wire fence do not get along well.....
