Sheep Prolapse - Simple Solution 

been using the rope homemade harness for years, a sprinkle of white sugar on the prolapse helps it going back in I usually don't wash certainly not with cold water use lukewarm , if help was available (wishful thinking) I'd roll the ewe over & lift her by the hind legs and very little pressure needed , , watching youtube etc I am surprised by so many seasoned sheep people still stitching and using spoons , great video, good luck with the lambing , down to the last 20 here

Thank you & yes I have seen other sheep farmers using your technique & shouting you out for helping them because it worked really well, I think it was Arnie from ewetopia farms in Canada 😊

You explained that so well ,I have seen harnesses with a spoon ,but you way seems better

That's a new one for me for a vaginal prolapse. This is definitely a sheep school day. I was taught the rolling on the back, elevating the hind end and sugar technique for a uterine prolapse, works great. But then sutured the vulva. This rope technique is far less invasive. Thanks so much for sharing! Also love your portable headstall!

What a great video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. This has helped me as a herdsman .

My first ewe prolapse today rope trick worked a treat Brilliant

Thanks for uploading. Never had seen how to fix a prolapse like this.

Well done, First ever prolapse last night, Panic stations, managed to borrow a harness bur it will have to be replaced with your technique to allow lambing. Thanks for posting this video!

Very well presented David , every shepherd is confronted with this and we find its from older ewes and when checking previous years lambing records its older ewes with multiple births or perhaps from a hard pull from before. Rope popular for many flocks although need to be careful with underleg rubbing.We use the harness ,and wee a bit of Milton to clean the prolaspe. Great advert for the headstock .Good luck

This is brilliant! I tried it today and it works fantastic!

thank you for your prolapse explanation, I find it very educational and will try it,

Good morning from Cornwall. I've seen you use this method before, clever stuff.i hope all you are well at the farm.thanks.

Fantastic video from a fantastic stockman. Well done!

Used this today, thanks for sharing will see how it goes.

You need to get her to pee first ! Just lift up prolapse and let her pee it then reduces in size by half and is so much easier to put back in 😊

Great video David, I had a ewe prolapse yesterday and used a harness but will try this in future.

You're are a smart man, this will be very useful to me Thanks

Many thanks David. Thankfully none yet this year. But I'm 5 weeks away from lambing. Find its the greedy ones for nuts tend to get any prolapsed. Like a lot of folk used spoon in the past. So thanks. Hopefully won't have to try your method but prepared if needed.

Best video I’ve seen on this issue. Thanks!

Thanks for that, you’re a miller. I wasn’t crossing the rope under her hind legs. I’m gonna get a head stick out of your shop as well 👍

I think I would find your yoke very handy for a lot of things, but my trusty halter served me very well. Lucky to have a seafaring husband who is very good at splicing ropes and making them. I would prefer to use Cetavlon (Savlon) as it is an obstetric antiseptic and non astringent. You should be able to get a large can of concentrate at the farm store. Expensive but lasts a very long time and you can use it on the humans as well. I also marked the ewe for cull so that it didn’t get forgotten later.I always hoped that my culls did actually go for cull and not bought by someone putting her through misery, hoping to get another lamb out of her

Before putting back the prolapse you should release the urine and it would b much easier on the sheep to put it back in

I used a rope a few years ago on one of my dads ewes and she lambed twins and no issues Was told she was getting too much hay not sure if that’s the cause Another good video and good day at sheep school

Thanks for putting it up. I hope I don't have to use it

Cracking video as always

Great video David get way of doing it 💪👌

Have you ever tried the harnesses? There really handy & adjustable. Find the rope cumbersome

Excellent video again thanks for sharing great information

Well lad when is my headstock coming do you know ? Ordered last week. Lambing says goodo here.

Great video 👍

We had that happen to us this year we just made a harness out of baler twin

What length is the rope. Bought the head lock of yous. Great for working on your own

Good man well done good operator

Great video

Brilliant 👍👍🐑🐑🐑🐑

Here most sheep that people show have their whole tail removed. Will the rope still work without any tail left?

Any other disinfectant besides detox would b good because detox is an irritant 👍

Make a young man weep and another man old 🐑 🐏

Dear God! Is this something that happens to sheep like a normal problem?!? Omg! That poor sheep.

Good see.ya always something sheep broke out last.time see ya

Interesting 👌

Will your headlock be big enough for texel rams I’m just looking at on your website

Еслбы я раньше увидел бы этот видео я бы спас одну овцу 😢

I desperately want to buy one of your headlocks in the USA. I can find a few items close, but nothing as robust and adjustable as yours.

Is it applied for cow

Abraham Isaac and Jacob would be so proud.

there is a higher chance in sheep that have went through tail docking and mulesing , prolapsing so i would not do both of those procedures or buy sheep that have went through because of cost , health, stress, risk of cancer and prolapse and many other factors, it is very old practice just like how surveys of medical professionals conducted as recently as 1986 indicated that infants younger than 15 months were still receiving no pain relief during surgery in many hospitals across the U.S. if martin luther king jr and Abraham Lincoln can stop slavery.......then why can't we help make ourselves better? why can't we let light over the subjects that are hard for us to believe or except ? doctors find new illnesses but it takes' years because its only one lab , if we join together then we will survive while caring for our loved ones , our friends , co-workers, animals , pets , livestock ,the homeless , prisoners , the sick , the ones that have allergies to food or animal by products , our sons and daughters , the people that has terminal illness , the random kids that you play on your street, we need to take care of our food like if it was our new born baby because your going to have to take care of it ,

Know wonder she prolapsed with one big bale of hay to one sheep 😅

Надо поливать холодной водой,она сама втянется

You need to have a spoon in just so the prolapse dont pop back out

You're are a smart man, this will be very useful to me Thanks
