Interesting, I’m curious how it actually saves much time? Your left arm will be sore as hell dragging them all up after 1 day, would it still work on a lamb over 25kg? And wouldn’t something with a bit of go in it run and jump?
the first lambs looked like something even I wouldn’t buy…
And he’s jabbing them in the wrong place… you don’t jab anything in the backside!!!!

I think it's a vaccine under the skin.

The latest version looks like it has a lead up and exit ramp so ewes can flow through, presumably to keep lambs flowing. I'd say it would be easier on the body than a tailing chute. But you'd struggle to tail them in it.

its still in the wrong place , its stupid to be jabbing over the loin/rump


Into the muscle yes, under the skin it doesn't matter especially with something like a vaccine.
it does matter , doesnt take much to stray into the muscle and a needle doesnt stay clean very long especially the way hes chucking it about.
