Description
Shorten chores and stay in control with the Sheep Sitter. Position your sheep in a calm seated hold so you can trim hooves, check udders, dose, and tag without a wrestling match. Support safer handling, smoother treatments, and fewer slips for you and your flock.
Key Features
- Hands-free hold: Keep your ewe steady so you can work quickly and accurately.
- Calming position: Seat the animal to reduce stress, kicking, and back-and-forth chasing.
- Back-saving handling: Cut the bending and bracing that come with floor restraint.
- Fast load and release: Move animals through tasks without tying up extra help.
- Stable footprint: Set up in pens or alleys and keep footing predictable on barn surfaces.
- Easy storage: Stow between uses to keep the alley clear and chores moving.
Applications
Use the Sheep Sitter for routine work: hoof trims, footbath checks, vaccinations, deworming, ear tagging, body condition scoring, and lambing checks. Work solo when you need to, or make a two-person job faster and calmer during busy seasons.
