I was looking forward to having these restraints to help make hoof trimming easier. I am so disappointed in them. They are extremely hard to open, even when they are not on an animal’s legs. I’m afraid to try putting them on my goats for fear I won’t be able to get them off. My husband tried them too and agrees with me on the difficulty of opening them.

We bought one of these (29mm) a couple of years ago to help restrain a sheep while we hand-sheared. With the sheep not being able to kick out and/or right herself, the work was a lot easier. The cuff is simple and quick to clip on, doesn’t slip off, and it did the job perfectly. This year we bought two more, one 29mm and one 24mm, to restrain sheep prior to slaughter. We have used rope to secure their legs in the past but, having used the cuff for shearing, we know that these are going to be a huge improvement over the rope. Better for us, and better for the sheep.

The cuff worked very well on our ram lambs. I drive a few at a time covered in the back of my pick-up for a 25 minute ride to the abattoir and didn’t have any issues when using the cuff. I took off one star as the spring mechanism could work a bit smoother, particularly when you have an uncooperative animal. However this is way better then tying their feet with rope.

I have Karakuls and hair sheep. I found these to be weak and poorly designed. They slip or bend too easily. They need to be made with a stronger steel. The clasp mechanism is not very strong either. Pops loose easily. I ordered these for working on feet and found them to be useless.

This works good on my ewes—however the size is too small for my rams. I wish Premier sold an extra large! I like to hook the front leg to the back leg.
