Tackling birthing ewe to relieve her of metal bracket on her hoof.

This Ewe was giving birth on my farm when I noticed her limping. She had a fence bracket wedged on her hoof. This was causing pain and limping. She did not want me near her. I had to catch her in the open field. I used her newborn baby as bait and tackled her at the opportune moment. Fortunately I was able to get her foot free quickly and she moved on with no harm.

Not exactly tackling like we taught but at least you didn’t lead with your head 😅
