- Pig Puller, circa 1915 - Many domesticated farm animals (such as hogs and sheep) give birth naturally without assistance. However, veterinarians may intervene if the mother is having difficulty or if the piglet (hog) or lamb (sheep) is in an incorrect position or stillborn. Veterinarians use an extractor or "puller" to loop a wire securely around the animal to help guide it through the birth canal.
