Shepherds Crook For Leg

The idea is to stand about a crook s length away from a fence or drystane dyke. The sheep is then manoeuvred and encouraged to run through the gap between the shepherd and the fence, when it is caught by the crook.

Another type of crook, called a leg cleek, catches sheep by the joint of the back leg. Better still, unlike neck crooks, that require the shepherd to exert some strength to restrain heavy sheep struggling against it, those caught in a leg cleek tend to back towards the shepherd and consequently are easier to hold on to.
