The cattle cane is 36" long and I had to trim a few inches off for the perfect height, but it is tough as a cob. Found one in a local Tractor Supply, but it was so flimsy I woulden't even trust it to support my weight much less trust it for defense. Nothing like Hickory!

When I was a kid I would go to the stock sale with my grandpa and his brother and I was fascinated with the pen hookers and their canes. Those Hickory canes were indestructible and they could be be bought there. About 50 yrs. ago I injured a leg and needed a cane so I went to the stock sale and bought one. I still have it and I still use it if I have to go somewhere that has metal detectors. Larry
