It's a calf weaner. Compare it to the one shown on the left in the photo below.

"Calf weaners. c. 1900-1920. Many types of devices were used by farmers to keep calves away from their mothers during weaning time. Left: L. 7"; Right: L. 3-1/2"."

Haa.ha,ha,ha,ha,that's funny angelo.Thanks again PBK.Guess that's why I found it in an old cowfield.A guy told me that's what it was,at first I thought he was joshing me.I never saw one before.And I lived on a farm for years when I was younger.Only feeder stock though no birthing.Of course one time I did help a feller deliver a calf from a cow that was having problems and wanting to lay down.We hooked up a chain and pulled it out with an old ford pick-up truck.That was exciting.Both cow and calf had a happy ending,till they were sold at auction that is!

When I first looked at it, I thought it was a chastity belt. Boy, was I wrong.

Darn, this was the first thing I could identify for sure. I have one that has these horrible metal triangles sticking out of it.
