1/2 #feedback via test messagefrom Al Hort of Gunns Plains in Tasmania, reviewing his first use of numnuts this years #lambmarking “Did 160 #lambs with #numbnuts. Very easy to use.
2/2 Little leak from the needle that just needed a nip with the pliers.Offsider was a shearer who reckons it was much easier to use too. Did lambs at 6 - 10 weeks with very little fuss. Only stress/injuries was with me from getting the snot kicked out of me with the big lambs 🤣

Lamb tailing finished today, first year using @NumnutsDevice and really pleased with how easy it is to use and the lambs response to it, a great tool. Nemo drench, b12 jag and tags also applied, the @te_pari lamb chute is also a fantastic
#scotsheep2024 👏👏👏 what a day😎🐏. Great to speak to so many 🏴 sheep farmers and see the relief on their faces that the can now ring up to 12weeks without penalty using #numnuts. Lets hope 🏴🏴🇮🇪 Government regulators see sense and change their restrictive 7day system QUICKLY
The first 🏴 customer in 2024was in Shetland earlier this year. Congrats to Jamie for moving lamb marking foward in the auld country, using a #vetmarker cradle #elastrator ring dispenser and if course #painrelief for his #lambing2024 🐑👍😎

The glamorous life of the sheep entrepreneur! 🐏😎 Do you remember in Charlie and the chocolate factory? Charlie‘s dad’s job was screwing the lids onto toothpaste tubes…🤔. Take this over doing cash flow spreadsheets any day 🤣😮💨#lambing2024
What age do you plan to #ring your 🐏 during #lambing2024? Whilst it might not be for everyone, there can be multiple benefits using an #elastrator ring for docking a bit later in 🏴 & 🇬🇧 (where legislation allows). Think #colostrum 🍼 the “Golden Liquid”
