Bad shearing cuts

[dogjon]

lot of boys round here use a curved needle and dental floss. works well

First day of a NZ shearing course I took nearly 40 years ago we learned to suture a bad shearing cut with dental floss and a 5" S curve cadaver needle. Always have both in the cabinet.

Woolly belly wethers that get in with ewe lambs have caught me off guard in the past .

I didn't have a sutre kit and it was a mad panic at the time. It is definitely a good shout. I still feel an awful sense of guilt now when I think about it.

Webs that spiders spin.

Helps the blood clot by giving it something to bind too.

I think that actual cobweb is better when straight off the roof of the woodshed - apparently they contain a clotting agent which makes the difference.

First lambing job I did, I also helped them trimming horns.

Chap showing me took too much off and sent me to barn to grab some, I honestly thought he was taking the pee. Almost like go to the ar part place for Indicator Fluid or tartan paint. Got it anyway, went back and he just placed it over the bleeding horn.

Boss over in Iceland also used the same thing.
