Page Background TOP PICK 1 3 2 2 Front Leg Rear Leg Front Leg Restraints Gambrel Restrainer Simple, clever tool that immobilizes adult sheep and goats by holding their neck and front legs alongside each other (shown above) . A Gambrel is easy to carry by hand, waist belt, ATV, motorbike or horse. Does not harm animals. Made of nearly indestructible polycarbonate. Over 30 years we’ve only heard of several breaking. Gambrel Restrainer, 0.30 lb............#811000 $18.00 Restraint Cuffs For use when you need an extra pair of hands. Secures 3 legs—so an animal can neither stand nor walk when the cuff is in place. • Small (1"x 5" inside)— For small-framed mature animals, lambs and goat kids. Smaller both in length and width than the large size. • Large (1.2"x 5.2" inside)— For large-framed and/or heavy-boned adult sheep/goats. Restraint Cuff, small, 24 mm, 0.30 lb...............#811030 $9.50 Restraint Cuff, large, 29 mm, 0.40 lb................#811032 $10.00 2. Bring one rear leg forward and place in between the 2 front legs. Snap the spring-loaded link shut to enclose the 3 legs. How To Use a Gambrel: 1. Place the gambrel over the animal’s neck. 2. Slide legs into footholds, one on each side. 3. Guide string under neck and secure. What’s the string for? Extra security when you need to restrain an animal for longer periods. Also handy for attaching it to an ATV (the Gambrel, not the animal)! 1. Put one front leg into one side of the cuff and slide the second front leg into the other side.

Why use restraints?

• To restrain adult goats and sheep when

you need to assist the animal or leave it

alone to go for supplies.

• For transporting individual animals in or

on ATVs and trailers.

• It’s nearly as useful as a second person

when the right situation exists—and less

expensive—but also less interesting.

A word of caution:

Animals are used to

freedom, not restraint. Even the most docile

ewe or doe can turn into a kicking machine

when caught. Be careful!

We’ve yet to find an easier restraint to use. Small Large Animals may try to “walk” when restrained by a gambrel. When they do this, lay the animal on the ground and wait for them to become calm.
