SHARPTEMP-V. Fast, Accurate Temperatures in 8 to10 Seconds. Beeps When Ready. 5-Inch Stainless-Steel Probe With Rounded Tip. Safe for All Farm Animals & Pets.

I use this thermometer in taking care of our calves and cows. It reads very fast and is easy to read. It has larger numbers, and it will beep when the high temperature is reached. It has actually been a big part of keeping my animals healthy, because it is so easy to use. You will have to push the button and hold it for a few seconds for it to turn on and then push the button again for it to turn off. Highly recommended.

I needed to take the temperature of a ram on the farm but didn't have a thermometer. My husband picked one up for me. I get out to the field to take the temperature and realize that the thermometer isn't digital. (I know I should've pulled it out of the case and looked at it.) I haven't used a non-digital thermometer in decades. Plus, I didn't have my readers so wouldn't be able to read it, even if I could remember how to take it correctly. I came inside and immediately when to Amazon to locate a digital thermometer that would arrive in a couple of days. Viola, done! The thermometer arrives. This time I do look over the thermometer. Everything looks ready to go. It came with the battery. Went out, again, to check the temperature of the ram and was successful! Super simple to use. Pull off the sheath, push the button (it should have an "L"), and insert the thermometer. Within about 8 seconds, I had the temperature. Also has a nice case to keep it in when not in use. I definitely recommend.

Product failed to turn on. No instructions or manual other than saying "push the button". It is useless. Now I have to go to a drop-off sot just so that I can get my money back -- in a month or two. That is very poor customer service. Do Not Buy This Product -- or you too will have to spend time and effort and not have something that works.

Requires a very tiny battery which it doesn't come with.

I bought this as a livestock thermometer (rear entry for a horse) and it worked excellent! Significantly reduced the amount of time I needed to be behind the animal to take temps... and when you have an injured animal that has been on stall rest for some time, that's a big deal.

Takes a long time to complete reading the tempature. Good thing my horse will stand still! Not sure how accurate it is.

It is easy to use and seems accurate. It is very large - almost a foot long - so it is a good thing the horse doesn't know what's coming. I wish that the business end was a bit more rounded. There is a taper at the end, so the rounded insertion end is smaller than I expected. It is not a point, nor is it sharp, but it is much slimmer than my old mercury filled horse thermometer with its bulb on the end. I bought this to add to a traveling equine emergency kit, but I think now I will keep this one for barn use, and take my old mercury thermometer on the road so I don't have to worry about battery life.

Tired of human grade digital thermometers not working when you need them (dead batteries etc)?? These are the way to go. Comes with a case. Professional looking and just the right size

Hug quality and easy to use.
