    Hello , We are sheep and suckler farmers and had always used prolapse harnesses on the ewes , we recently had a cow prolapse before calving and got the vet to stich her up but this was to no avail and it looking bad for her until we used your method on her she has since successfully calved and appears to have made a full recovery if it wasn't for your video that cow would be dead . These videos are genuinely sharing knowledge to help other farmers keep up the great work 👍

    Love the prolapse belt. So simple to the methods we had here 40 years ago. Some winters we have lots of grass in winter and I did not know that would be a problem. A viewer who lives in the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

      "An awful problem" is a very good description.. it's a problem that causes dreadful discomfort to the poor sheep... I'm sure you will find success with the rope...🤞

    Mate I enjoy watching how great you are with your ladies. I only have small flick at the moment, but there are to many sheep farmers in Australia that just forget about their sheep and to me don't give a shit about them.
    So always great to see care going into them .
    Thankyou.

      Sometimes they have a very big prolapse that's hard to get back in, I rem turning them upside down for the vet and holding the back legs up, backbreaking job😀
      the vet gives them a jab of something as well to relax the muscle. The joys of sheep farming!!

    You could add a spoon by inserting it under the rope, I made an extra fixing by making a hole in the middle so that the spoon was fixed with three tapes. The middle one stabilised the position.I used to use a harness and a spoon together. So glad the crows didn’t peck the eye out of the cast ewe. I am thinking it may have been a hungry fox. True you learn something new every day

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Wendy.. when I saw the injuries first I was convinced it was a fox or dog attack... not exactly sure!
      I have found no need for a spoon along with the rope even in serious cases of hard pressing. Providing the tension is right the rope will do the trick....👌

    Why do they prolapse when not in labour

    • @sheepschool365
      @sheepschool365  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's can be for multiple reasons such as sheep too fat, poor quality hay/silage, too much concentrates in one feed and calcium deficiency will also trigger it. When the lambing process starts the problem usually disappears but if left untreated they won't make it that far...

      no major problems at lambing yet but wouldn't like them any fatter.
      They definitely won't look as good at weaning....
