Lamb & Kid Sling
Premier's extra-tough option to carry or weigh lambs or goat kids.
Key advantage is that the ewe or doe can see, hear and most importantly smell them and more readily follows. This is vital for preserving the mother/offspring bond. Less human smell on newborns reduces risk of abandoned lamb(s) and goat kid(s).
Attach a Digital Scale for weighing.
Colors may vary.

I bought the Lamb & Kid Sling for a kid who got sick and was not able to walk. I hooked the lamb and kid sling to a Dog Tieout Trolley for the kid and placed her in it. In no time she was walking back and forth with it, and then she was able to walk independently. Although this is not what the sling was designed for it held her up really well and worked exactly as I needed it to. My complaint is the shipping and handling was more than the sling. The sling was $11.40, and the shipping and handling was $14.77 for 0.30 pounds.

It would likely work good for newborn kids, but it was a stretch to weigh my 30+ lb kids.

This is a nice well made product. I did replace my hook on the scales to make the sling easier to use.

Nice apparatus but the straps are too big to fit into the hook on the digital scale. Some one goofed up on this. The straps need to be tapered or the hook on the scale needs to be bigger to accommodate the straps as they just dont fit.

Works great for weighing newborn lambs. The strap around the front prevents the baby from slipping out, which always happen with my old sling.
