Rectal Rings
Specs
- Made of plastic
- Two sizes:
- 1" X 2.25" for lambs 70 lb or less
- 1.5" X 2.5" for lambs above 70 lb
Benefits
- Can save the life of the animal if done soon enough.

How to Use
Precautions
- The sooner you insert the ring the better the results.
- Do not push the ring in too far or you will not be able to tie it off. (A loop of string through the ring will allow you to hold the ring in place. Remove the string once the ring is tied off.)
