1/2 #feedback via test messagefrom Al Hort of Gunns Plains in Tasmania, reviewing his first use of numnuts this years #lambmarking โDid 160 #lambs with #numbnuts. Very easy to use.
2/2 Little leak from the needle that just needed a nip with the pliers.Offsider was a shearer who reckons it was much easier to use too. Did lambs at 6 - 10 weeks with very little fuss. Only stress/injuries was with me from getting the snot kicked out of me with the big lambs ๐คฃ
