Aluminum Tube RedCote™ Crook
Use this neck crook for grabbing animals as they are passing by or singling one out of a group.
Red outer finish means it's less likely to be "misplaced" in grass, straw, closets, etc. Also prevents uncoated aluminum from leaving black oxidate on your hands and clothes.

We have purchased this same crook these years ago from Premier 1 and they worked great, so we bought more when the kids lost one in the pasture. The new crook bent the first ewe I tried to catch. They’re not built like they were previously. We are constantly re-bending them back after use, probably won’t try this model again.

Not really heavy duty. But it’s better than nothing.

Worked good for a few times then completely bent after using on my black belly sheep. Not very durable.

I love this crook. I always had such a hard time catching my kids and this made catching them less stressful for them and me! The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is I would have liked it to have the smaller leg crook too.

Very useful crook to catch lambs. Have not yet had a chance to use it very much to catch ewes but I suspect it will work well for our smaller Katahdins.
