By using the deck chair, it allows you to use both hands for working on the animal. It also saves you from many backaches of trying to hold the animal and work on them at the same time. It will restrain heavily pregnant ewes without injury to them. It also allows you to walk away from the animal for more medicine or tools, etc.

See PDF above for additional instructions.

To load:

1. Best location is in the corner of a small pen--as this allows catching the animal with the least effort. Drop the top of the chair over a gate or fence at 45 degree angle.
2. Catch the sheep by the head. Back the sheep into the chair. As the back legs hit the bottom crossbar, the rump (and most of the animal's weight) will fall into the webbing. (Take care not to catch the rear legs in the 2 vertical chair legs.)
   
3. Complete the process by lifting the head upwards into the sitting position.

To unload:
With one hand, tip the chair forward with the sheep inside it. Allow the animal to fall out onto its feet. Hang onto the chair or you may be chasing the animal/chair combination around the pen.

These items DO NOT qualify for Free Ground Delivery.

Note: The tighter the adjustable tubular sidebars clamp the animal, the more secure the hold. If a typically-sized animal in your flock is too loose in the chair, loosen the clamps and slide the side bars closer together.

Does not work well with horned animals. Their horns may become entangled with the netting.
