I live in Alabama and already had purchased one of these. This latest one I bought was for my older sister in Minnesota.

I live alone and do all of my care and maintenance of my stock by myself. This Gambrel Restrainer is heaven sent for me. I have to trim hooves and deworm and inject my goats all by myself, so I use this restrainer to subdue the animal while I perform all the periodic or unscheduled care on my animals.

It's true that the animal will calm down and actually eat grass or feed while in the restraint. They WILL freak out a little bit at first, but I pat them and talk calmly to them and offer feed. It works. I can trim, inocculate, and de-worm... and anything else I need to do with very little effort other than occasionally repositioning the animal to allow me to access a different hoof or something like that.

DEFININTELY RECOMMEND!

Easy to use, affordable, reliable. Not very often that you find a product that does exactly what it says it will do. This restrainer WORKS.

Works great, and is lightweight. Easy to apply and remove. The sheep can be positioned on their side, stomach, or back while wearing it. One acrobatic hair sheep wheelbarrowed himself accross the pen while wearing it but was easily caught up.

My vet was amazed when I used the large one on a ewe that had a real bad hind foot problem and I wanted to restrain her in a pen to be worked on. She laid quietly while he operated, medicated, bandaged and applied duct tape.

And then what really amazed me is that I used the small one on a lamb that we had to cut (yep banding works but not every time). I was able to control that 30 pound lamb in my lap.

We call them lamb hand cuffs. They work great. We move the lambs to the barn on a plastic sled. The lamb hand cuffs keep the lambs from getting up and falling off the sled. Nearly all of the 350 lambs that are born every year here will wear them for a bit.
