Blue Leg Aluminum Crook
Common Uses
Specs
- 54" long
- Medium tensile solid aluminum rod coated with blue plastic

Benefits
A goat's agility, slim neck and lack of wool mean that neck crooks are often useless.
How to Use
To catch a ewe with newborn lambs on the pasture: First catch the lambs. Then lay a leg crook between the lambs and ewe with the crook head toward the ewe. The ewe will likely face her lambs. Encourage the ewe ever closer. When the ewe's front foot is near, instantly raise the crook and snare her front leg.

I purchased one of these many years ago. That one had a much better hand grip and they used a stronger, better tempered aluminum. This one bends much easier and the leg hook spreads open and allows the leg to slip through. I kept it since I needed something to catch lambs and even this is better than nothing.

Very well constructed crook. I use mine for hurting docs and it works brilliantly. The creek fits around their neck just right and the length is perfect for hurting them into a pond.

In general, it is really good. I agree with Delane. Work really good for adults. Needs manual adjustment for younger lambs.
