Lambing aid/wire/snare

FREE DELIVERY INCLUDED!!

🐑 Strong PLASTIC COATED STAINLESS STEEL WIRE makes it easy to clean and disinfect. Much more hygienic than baler twine!

🐑 The thickness of the wire provides the perfect mix between flexibility and stiffness so that you can move it into the position you require more easily.  

🐑 The length is adequate enough so that you can reach those more hard to get to places inside.  

🐑 Due to the wire diameter, it is much kinder to the back of the lamb's head and less likely to cut in or cause damage

🐑 Can also be used as a noose to pull the lamb's legs or around the ribcage of a rotten lamb to help get it out

🐑 Small enough to just roll up and pop it in your pocket, like in the picture, and far more practical than the rigid plastic lambing aids currently on offer

🐑 Made for purpose wire clamp keeps wire safely secured below the handle

🐑 Wire itself can be easily replaced!  Let's face it, the wire is not going to last you an entire lifetime, and nor should it really!  But you can keep the clamp and the handle year on year and just replace the wire by undoing the clamp using an allen key and then buying a replacement wire for only £3.50 HERE! 

🐑 SOLID UNBREAKABLE UNBENDABLE  PLASTIC HANDLE to ensure a good grip and in RED to make finding it in the straw or long grass easier!

🐑 The wire can be easily secured into the lamb’s mouth or under the chin to prevent it from slipping off by sliding the length of plastic tubing up if you wish

I have developed and trialled this product on many different farms over my 30 years of lambing sheep. A snare is a lamb life saver and so much nicer for the ewe when you use it.  It saves on repeatedly having to shove your hand in and out of her to try to retrieve the head from beyond the pelvis.  I have tried all sorts of different types of snare materials including washing line, electrical wire, baling twine - and then for the handles, cut up wooden broomsticks, metal piping, plastic piping....and they all had their downfalls. This snare is the best result from many seasons of my (and others') research and testing and I believe is the perfect kit for the job.

***PLEASE READ*** HOW TO USE A SNARE 

For those new to using a snare, please read the following ....

Once you have the snare over the back of the lamb's head behind the ears and secured under the chin, carefully pull the lamb's head and legs through the ewe's pelvis (this all takes practice!). I prefer at this point to turn the ewe more onto her back and then stand up ready to take the strain by gently pulling upwards.  You may need to pop your foot under her hip to keep her wedged in position. Putting the ewe on her back and pulling upwards provides a better angle for helping to keep the snare in the correct position so it is less likely to slip off.  THE SNARE IS TO HELP GET THE LAMB THROUGH THE PELVIS OF THE EWE AND TO TAKE THE STRAIN AS THE EWE PUSHES.  KEEPING CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE SNARE AND PULLING EXCESSIVELY ON IT CAN KILL THE LAMB.  

If you are unsure how to position the snare onto the lamb, the following is a helpful video that shows this
