The Kiwi Crook was recommended to my by a friend who has a fair sized hair sheep operation. We only have a few ewes and a fair catch system that works pretty well for us. Even with that though, trying to catch sheep and lambs that are in the mob is tricky.
We did our first ear tagging today and having the Kiwi Crook was SO much easier on my back. I wasn't trying to bend or jerk downwards in an attempt to grab a collar, neck or leg. Just hooked who I needed, moved up the crook and grabbed the animal. I will definitely recommend it to fellow sheep and goat friends. :)

Works great. No problems with either the neck crook or the leg catch.

As I've aged, I'm not as agile as I once was. My kids moving away from the farm makes it even harder to work lambs & goats. But I was able to catch a nearly feral goat all by myself with the Kiwi Crook. It works just like they say it does!

I love this, this is perfect for catching goats.

Overall a good crook for my sheep. It's just a little shorter than I expected for the price. However should last me a long time. Great quality.
