Portable Sheep/Goat Handler-Immobilizer
Portable Sheep/Goat Handler-Immobilizer

The 12-volt battery-operated, galvanized steel Portable Sheep/Goat Handler-Immobilizer is designed to allow one to carry out various tasks (e.g., crutching, dagging, drenching, vaccination, tagging, foot trimming) at an ideal height and without having to catch/hold the animal. When the animal enters the device, pushing a button, depressing a pedal, or an optical sensor deploys a padded material from both sides, which gently squeezes the animal, preventing further movement. All handler-immobilizers are wheeled for portability, reportedly accommodate most any size sheep or goat, and can be upgraded to carry out digital weighing, electronic ID reading, and auto-sorting.

Estimated Cost Cost range: $7,000-$9,000

Limitations Limitations Addressed by Product: Lower extremity, Upper extremity, Strength/endurance, Back
