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 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.

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.

I turned it on. Stayed on for about 10 seconds, then went blank. Would not turn back on. Completely dead. I guess I now need to order a battery. I have a sick horse and need to take a temp! I brought a different thermometer at TSC that doesn’t seem accurate and this one is dead on arrival. Not happy. Not recommended

Purchased to use for horses. So much easier and faster than the long metal probe that might get lost inside your horse. Only takes seconds instead of minutes. Horse doesn't squirm around.

Love the length of the probe, the wrist strap & nice storage holder. Seems to give accurate readings. Mine arrived w/o batteries 😐, but found some on Amazon. Seems to take longer than advertised to take a reading, but my mare is patient thank goodness!

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

the thermometer took too long to get her came with out a battery the the piece that hold the battery in is cheap came with no instructions or paper works

Nice to have incase of a emergency situation. I’ve had to use it one time and it worked very well.
