Tailing worked well at the end of a shute, the normal position for that process, but castration appears to be possible and easier in a position part way down. Brian Falconer is using our power tool above, which he has developed, which also has the benefit of no wide handles.
Along with Niall Bowser who supplies Vetmarker in Scotland we are trying to work out the best way of applying our Clips when this equipment is being used. The framework which holds the lambs steady doesn’t naturally allow the access to the lamb’s sack that our manual plier needs. We will report progress in future blogs from other Clampeasy volunteers.
