Cattle Groomer Oiler/Scratcher: Grooming + Pest Protection in The Shade

The Cattle Groomer Oiler/Scratcher attaches directly to any Shade Haven to keep cattle comfortable and protected while they enjoy the shade. Built with durable nylon brushes and a heavy-duty steel tank, it does double duty—removing lice, flies, and winter hair while applying a protective insecticide solution.

The large, three-gallon steel tank supplies a gravity-fed flow to the brush-activated release valve. Mounted inside the top brush, the valve is pressure-sensitive—staying closed until the brush is used. This design prevents drips, reduces waste, and ensures the solution is applied exactly when cattle need it. With adjustable flow control, a farmer can fine-tune the rate to match a herd’s needs.

Features include:

• Durable construction: 5-ft tall with a three-gallon, heavy-duty steel tank for long-lasting performance.
• Brush system: Course nylon brushes with a double spring-loaded top brush that holds up to heavy use.
• Smart flow control: A pressure-sensitive valve only releases solution when cattle use the brush, preventing drips and waste.
• Adjustable rate: Flow-control valve lets you set the application rate to a herd’s needs.
• Custom Shade Haven fit: Each unit comes with a mounting bracket made specifically for the SH1200 and SH600.
• Replacement parts available: Order replacement brushes anytime to keep the system working like new.

Why it matters: By combining grooming with pest protection, this accessory not only keeps your herd healthier, it also boosts comfort by cutting down on flies, lice, and other pests—all while giving cattle the relief of a good scratch.

Part of the Shade Haven Story

Like the mineral feeder and the Double Spring Scratcher, the Cattle Groomer Oiler/Scratcher adds another layer of value to your Shade Haven setup. Shade keeps them cool. The scratcher keeps them comfortable. Together, it’s a one-stop spot your cattle will keep coming back to.

Building on the Shade Haven Advantage
Shade Haven is more than mobile shade—it’s a complete herd health system. By adding the Groomer Oiler/Scratcher, a farmer expands the value and effectiveness of a SH1200 or SH600 beyond shade alone. Now, the same system that protects cattle from heat stress delivers daily grooming and insect control. One piece of equipment, multiple layers of herd protection.
