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.

Excelente prodcuto muy util para atrapar a los borregos, muy ligero y fuerte, Siempre tendre uno o dos en mi rancho.
Robert B from Colorado
I have had two of these crooks for years. They are light, strong, fast and if they bend you can correct the bend quickly. This is my favorite crook and I have tried 4 or 5 types. Great product.

Heavier than I thought it would be. Appears to be quite sturdy. My normally friendly ram kept his distance the first time I took it with me in the pasture. I used it to hook and release his front leg.

Great for when I have to catch a single sheep. Lock everyone in the feeding area and reach for the one I want.

This is the second one we have bought- one for our farm and now one for my dad. The one down fall we think is when the crook bends it cracks the paint. We raise Boer goats and they work well, they will bend when used on a larger, stronger goat- but it can bent back or still used. It definitely makes it easier to catch some of our wilder goats.
Good product for the price!
