This is my first experience with a trimming stand and wow has it made my life easier. From shearing to hood trims its all better with less struggle. I own a variety of sheep all different sizes and it works for all of them, the chain hooks are placed too high on the head for my small and mid size sheep so I have to take it off the hooks and wrap it around the cheek pieces and post but it works as such, the head piece slides down low enough for them. My large size sheep can use the stand as designed. If I could change anything I would add a ramp.
