Product Information
Full details
The Nettex Agri Lamb Puller (NXA0044) is designed for livestock farmers and shepherds who need a reliable, humane tool to assist in difficult lambing scenarios. Its primary benefit is the use of soft, flexible rubber construction, which significantly reduces the risk of injury, scalding, or abrasions to the lamb compared to traditional rope methods. While it provides excellent control and grip, users should note that it is intended as an aid for manual assistance and requires a steady, experienced hand to ensure optimal safety for both the ewe and the lamb.

FAQs
Is the Nettex Agri Lamb Puller reusable?
Yes, it is designed for multiple uses. Ensure it is cleaned and disinfected thoroughly between each birthing assistance.
Can this be used on other animals?
The device is specifically engineered for lambing and its size/tension profile is optimized for lambs.
Does the rubber material cause allergic reactions?
It is made of standard agricultural-grade rubber. If you have a known latex allergy, please handle with gloves.
How do I ensure the best grip on the lamb's legs?
Position the loops securely above the fetlock joints to ensure a stable hold without putting pressure on the hooves.
How long should I keep the tool?
Inspect the rubber for cracks or brittleness before each season. If the material shows signs of fatigue or deep cracking, it should be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Tool feels slippery during use
Ensure the device is clean and free of excessive lubricating oils or fluids. If necessary, wipe down with a dry cloth to improve grip.
Material feels stiff in cold temperatures
Keep the lamb puller in a warm place or inside a pocket close to the body before use to maintain the natural pliability of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure the puller is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using an animal-safe antiseptic solution. Because the tool is constructed from high-quality rubber, avoid storing it in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods, as UV radiation can cause the material to degrade over time. After every lambing session, wash the puller with warm, soapy water to remove all amniotic fluids and debris. Hang the tool in a cool, dry place to ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mold or bacteria growth. While it is universally compatible with lambing, always ensure the grip is firmly seated on the limbs to prevent slipping.
