The Hook Doctor is the first and only product of its kind! It is a dual-purpose tool that was designed with the cattleman in mind. The large hook will assist in safely and humanely controlling an animal's head by hooking the cheek. The small hook is ideal for safely and humanely catching calves less than 125 pounds by the leg.
Use the Hook Doctor for routine procedures like tagging, mouthing, administering boluses and catching or sorting calves.
Hook’em with the Hook Doctor! Easy on you… easy on your cattle.
Only available in Orange.
Works solo
“I bought this after battling a round of scours on the stock field. Holy cow does it work. Won't ever go back to trying to run down calves without one of these again. Works great even if you are by yourself: catch the calf, hook the other end to the fence or the pickup, and you can work a calf and fend off the momma.”

Best tool I've used
“One of the best tools I have ever used. Great for catching and holding calves, great as a bull and cow pacifier when giving injections and freeze branding. I have gifted a few of these to fellow farmers and they love them too.”

This is the best size to engrave tags with. The ones that come with the dremel tool are too small
Great product! Color is eye catching and easy to read from a distance! 5 stars!
We've tried our best to help make designing your own custom ear tag as easy as possible. However, sometimes, tech is tricky. Please see this instructional video - 3D Custom Ear Tag Design Tool
Our 3D ear tag design tool isn't equipped to handle images ... yet. But we can definitely permanently engrave your family's cattle brand on your tag. Simply email us at sales@ritcheytags.com or call us at 1-800-EAR-TAGS so we can help you out. We have a fulltime graphic artist to ensure your brand is correctly drawn and you're happy with how the tag will look.
We offer numerous different color combinations for your ear tags. Since 1964, yellow/black has been our best seller by far followed by white/black, red/white, and black/white.
Production lead times are currently running 3-5 business days for blank tags and less than 4 weeks for custom engraved tags. Once a tag is ready, the amount of time to deliver the tags depends on where you are. Domestic orders will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
