Wow if the first thing you need are ropes, lube etc I'd say what you really need are new sheep!!

   I have ropes ,the puller that womble has  plus a hard plastic tool  and lube BUT Ive only ever used them on dead lambs , which I think most members would need the vet for

This is interesting. I've never used ropes yet, and I lamb a lot of sheep,  but never say never. I can't just think off the top of my head if I had to pick just one thing. Thinking about it.

Me neither. I have them but never used them.

Our aim is always zero losses between scanning and weaning.  Most years we succeed.  A rope helps identify one tangled twin or triplet and helps us get lambs out quickly before their survival is compromised by a lengthy lambing process.  If a ewe has a problematic lambing she'll go to cull and her lambs won't be retained for breeding but the first priority is for all to survive.
