Description

Just how painful is it to get your tail docked? What are the animal welfare laws around tail docking? How can we, as ethical sheep breeders, make this practice and lamb castration more numbing for lambs? In this podcast, with product design engineer Robin Smith we learn about how one man's passion for user centered design has led to a new way of doing things in the sheep industry. This new approach  benefits our lambs, ourselves and anyone who eats lamb or wears wool!In fact Robin and his global team have worked for over 10 years to bring us the Numnuts Device. Learn about this device, how it works and what it can do for you and your lambs on this fact filled podcast episode of The Sheep Show Podcast. You'll also realize that no matter what it is, it all starts with sheep! Sheep First Forever!!You can contact Robin via www.numnuts.store or robin@numnuts.store.
