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

Nothing is perfect, but it works the way it’s designed. One size doesn’t fit all, so I bought two and adjusted the head on one of them for smaller sheep and lambs. They bend, but can easily be bent back into shape. Good value for the money.

Product was delivered in a timely manner. It appears to be well made and is a good value.

We bought our first aluminum crook 7 years ago, used and abused it on a weekly basis, and it finally broke last week. We expect the same service from our new one. Great, durable product!

Works perfect for catching my goats.
It was a little big so I put it on my anvil and bent the end a little tighter. Then it worked great. Now I can catch my younger Spanish goats.

Useless to catch katahdins or dorpers, was really disappointed. Waste of my money.
