2025 Scottish FFIS GRANT APPROVED ITEM !

All original (steel construction) ClipFitters are precision compound-lever pliers for fitting our Lamb Clips only. LOOK AT THE IMAGE OF THE SELECTION CHART THEN PICK THE RIGHT SIZE & STYLE FROM THE BOXED VARIANTS BELOW ! Download our ready-reckoner/Brochure

They all generate the necessary closing force to produce the effect of anaesthesia. Please take note of lamb weight recommendations (look at the chart) when you choose your clips and fitter. Please remember that the MidiFitter can fit Midi and Mini clips with care, and MaxiFitter can sensibly be used for Midi and Maxi clips, although can with care fit Mini clips too.

The "Double" option refers to the handle design which has raised handles (to lift hands above obstacles) and because of a reversed spring wants to close the jaws and therefore the clip. So you open the jaws/clip with the front horned-handles (which require a smaller hand spread than the single version) to attached the clip; then releasing your grip, the jaws will hold the tail or scrotum gently, while you check positioning and without running the risk of losing your grip on the 'target'.  The Single design of handle, supplied in all sizes, is a familiar plier design and relies on your dexterity to keep a grip and would need a reasonably wide hand stretch.

The only Hybrid model (Plastic coated Steel), is the MINI, and is designed as an entry level, lower cost, device. Please don't expect the hybrid to fit clips on lambs possibly even a week old (depending on breed). ALWAYS check that the far end of the clip is locked tight. If not apply the tip of the applicator across that end and close it again.

You have a choice of sizes, so please see the lamb maximum weight suggestions and respective prices for different materials.TAKE CARE NOT TO BUY TOO SMALL A CLIP - the clip can fail to close properly in there is too much flesh to close over. Assuming you buy a bigger Fitter, then you can buy a selection of clip sizes to use as appropriate.

BIO Clips are sustainably sourced plant and wood based - they are not conventional fossil fuel plastics. They degrade like wood chips - they don't melt away. The abundance of microbes, and therefore the environment they fall into are key. As a broad guide  to their volume, if litter is your concern, 1 tree 'chipped' would produce 100,000 clips, 10 trees 1 million clips. You have to decide if you prioritise animal welfare and profit from thriving lambs, over your concern about pieces of plant and wood being left on your land.

•  A cradle calms the lamb, holding it firmly but gently to allow you to work hands free. It hooks onto your lambing pens and weighs in at 4 kgs only ! The top arm swings up and away to release or load, or can be held in position with a bungee cord. There is a great amount of flexibility and self adjustment allowing lambs of most sizes to fit. A second bungee cord can be used to control a wriggler ! Buy them from selected merchants too. The cradle is supplied with two swinging arms which are easily exchanged - one for larger lambs and the other for very young lambs.

Just like a safety pin, Small Padlock tags are colourful temporary or permanent marker tag for .... whatever you like ! Branded for your products or simply numbered as unique identifiers.  Sold in multiples of 10. Lock them with a pinch if you want them permanent. Press the black-lamb photo below to watch a video of how they are used.

Advanced Beak Bit Fitter with a very smooth action. Buy beak bits from your usual source.

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.
