First off, my cows went nuts for this brush the moment I installed it. The alternating green and black colors seem to genuinely attract them—like a giant 'scratch here' sign. Within minutes, they were rubbing against it like it was the best thing since fresh hay.

The bristles strike a perfect balance: firm enough to really get at those itchy spots but not so hard that I worry about damaging their skin or coats. My horse also loves using it for neck and face scratches—she’ll lean into it with this blissed-out look that’s hilarious to watch.

Installation was a breeze. I mounted one on a fence post using the included heavy-duty screws (no drilling required for my setup), and it hasn’t budged despite enthusiastic use. The lightweight design makes it easy to reposition—I’ve already moved it twice to test different spots.

Unexpected bonus? My border collie claimed it too! He does full-body rubs against it like a cat with a scratching post. Seeing him pause his naps just for a scratch session is comedy gold.

Durability gets top marks. After months of abuse from goats, cows, and one very determined dog, the bristles show zero wear. The half-cylinder design holds up to vigorous scratching without bending.

Only minor gripe: The product photos make it appear larger than it is. At about 1.5 feet tall, it works best when mounted at animal shoulder height rather than trying to cover their entire bodies.

Pro tip: Mount two back-to-back on a T-post to prevent scratching traffic jams. My goats now line up like cars at a drive-thru!
