Sheep Blankets (w/o neck)
Product Details
Use sheep blankets to keep sheep clean at shows or sales, as a cover to keep twine, hay, etc. out of high-value fleeces and as a warmer in very cold conditions.
For large-framed sheep. Use with our sheep hoods.

How to Use
- Once you are relatively confident in the size of blanket your sheep needs, unfold the blanket and locate the "head hole".
- Put the head of the sheep through this hole and allow the blanket to go as far down the neck as possible.
- Straighten and arrange the blanket. The longer portion of the blanket should run the length of the sheep and shorter side should drape along the chest of the sheep. Pull the blanket straight/tight in all locations and strive to keep the seam of the blanket centered along the back of the sheep.
- Connect the leg straps around the back legs. There are two common methods for doing this. The first is to simply undo the snap and move the strap so it is on the inside of the leg and then re-snap it to the D-ring. Do this to both legs and the blanket will stay in place in 95% of the time if it is the correct size for the sheep.
- When crossing leg straps, you will simply undo the snap on the left side of the blanket and connect it to the right side D-ring.
- You will then take the snap on the right side of the blanket and connect it to the D-ring on the left side of the blanket. Thus the leg straps will now be crossed.
Sheep should be able to take a free and easy stride with either method, so if you notice a restricted stride, lengthen the straps (each strap has the ability to be adjusted, no extension material is required).

These are great blankets. Fit our 130 lb fair lambs. I like the leg closure better than the belly d-ring
Barbara F from California
Sized right, tough, well fitted coats. They still rip them but have to work harder at it. Worth the price.
Dawn L from Oregon
Love these. Only ones that fit my big ass sheep.
Jennifer G from Ohio
The material was very good quality but the size ran very small and the neck area was too tight.
Gail S from Minnesota
The quality of the fabric is great, but all the blankets run too small for the measurements stated. Had to return to purchase larger sizes.
