Back in the day when I showed pigs in 4-H I used a wooden cane.

The one I used was kinda like a riding crop with a little tassle on the end. Got it at Tractor Supply in the horse stuff. It waslike 2-3 feet long. Some used rhe riding crops with the flap on the end.

That's for cattle. You use it to set the feet, and rub their belly.
