Elevate your farm routine with Shoof Kea Shepherd Crooks—your new best mate on the farm. Crafted in New Zealand from tempered 12mm aluminium rod, these crooks offer the perfect balance of lightweight handling and rugged durability, built to withstand the toughest farm work without bending or breaking.
Choose the right tool for the job: a hock hook, neck hook, or a versatile combination of both. Available in various lengths to meet your needs, whether you’re working in the field or the close confines of handling yards. Trusted by Kiwi sheep farmers for years, these crooks are essential when it’s not practical to run the flock through the yards to catch just one animal.
Sheep and goats have the advantage of four legs, speed, and agility, making them tricky to catch. But with a Shoof Kea Shepherd Crook in hand, you’ve got the upper hand. The longer reach lets you hook the animal from behind by the leg or neck, once the neck is inside the loop, instantly rotate the crook with your wrist. This applies pressure to both sides of the neck and gives you an extra second or two to pull the animal into reach of your hands. Goats prefer to face you, so it works best to snag a front foot. Whether in the vehicle or handling yards, you won’t want to be without one.
Six designs available to suit every situation. Make the Shoof Kea Shepherd Crook your go-to farm tool today.
