ClipFitter
£150.00 £125.00 (ex. VAT)ClipFitter Website for an explanation of the ClipFitter system
Precision compound-lever plier for fitting Lamb Clips. Generates necessary closing force to produce the effect of anaesthesia. Please take note of lamb weight recommendations when you choose your clips and fitter. Please remember that the MidiFitter can fit Midi and Mini clips with care, and MaxiFitter can fit all three although it might be a large instrument to use on small lambs ! One day the Maxi might be the only Fitter you need for lambs older than 7 -10 days, and the Double handled version would then be the most ergonomic style because you are holding it at it's centre of gravity, so it feels lighter.

Rings On Rods (100)
£5.00 £4.17 (ex. VAT)David Sullivan well known Shepherd and Story teller, won Farmer category innovation prize at NSA's Sheep 2022 event. We won the Trade version !
His 'kebab' conveniently delivers rings to a single handed shepherd provided they have pre-loaded the 'skewers'.
Our version of David's original idea is a plastic rod with ball end, and to load the rings you simply prod the rod down onto each ring poured onto a flat surface, and it will pick them up, one after another !Ring kebabs hold exactly 20 rings and they are moulded in pink and blue so that you can keep count of male and female lambs processed on the day. 2x pink and 4x blue per pack (more for the boys, for obvious reasons)
Ring kebabs hang from a your jacket or belt or our lamb cradle if you have one. Rings not included - buy rings from your usual supplier.
