Animal Husbandry

The Donalds range of sheep docking irons are both popular and proven. Allows you to dock lambs virtually anywhere without the need for a baseboard under the tail. This type of surgical docking is less stressful on the lambs and leaves a clean, sealed wound that reduces the risk of fly-strike or infection and the associated lamb losses.

Choose from the long-standing favourite Donalds Docking Iron that comes in standard or high-wind models, or the nes Donalds Patesco Docking Iron that treats the end of the tail in such a way that the upper surface of the tail heals with bare skin rather than wool. This greatly reduces the opportunity for dags to form.

The optional Heatshield protects the operator's hands from heat build up making it safer and more comfortable to continue working for longer.
