It’s a weaning device for cattle. It goes around the neck of a calf that is still nursing. The pointy ends go out. When the calf goes to eat, the pointy things poke the mother cow and chasers her away so the calf can’t eat.

It is to stop a cow from 'crawling' through barbwire fences. In reality, all it does is tear out the fence, because the only 'cure' for a fence crawler is a slaughter house. mad

Got several laying around here that were put into use at one time, and were relegated to the shed wall. sick

Have to agree with the above post on this one. Plenty of pictures on the net and they describe them as Vintage Spiked Cow Poke Neck Yoke Fence Guard or very similar description.

The weaning aids are almost all attached to the nose.
