What is the difference between fixed and mobile handling?
Fixed handling is permanently installed in a sheep house or farm building. It's more robust and ideal for intensive use. Mobile handling is designed to be easily moved, perfect for outdoor work or farmers with multiple sites.
How do I choose the right handling system for my farm?
The choice depends on several factors: your flock/herd size, animal type (sheep, cattle, goats), available space, and whether you need a fixed or mobile system. Contact us for personalised advice — we have over 20 years of experience in livestock equipment.
What is a turnover crate and what is it used for?
A turnover crate allows you to safely and ergonomically flip a ewe or sheep into a trimming position (on its back) without excessive physical effort. It's essential for foot care (hoof trimming), health checks and veterinary procedures.
How many animals can I process per hour with your systems?
With a complete type A handling system including raceway and sorting pen, an experienced farmer can process 200 to 300 sheep per hour for simple sorting, and 80 to 120 per hour for individual care (trimming, drenching, vaccination).
