Handling cattle can often be one of the most challenging, and potentially dangerous, tasks on the farm. Recognising this, this farm has developed a new cattle handling unit designed with safety, efficiency, and animal welfare at its core. From innovative features like a dedicated calf crush to a unique loading system, this facility is built to make cattle management easier, calmer, and safer for everyone involved.
This compact handling unit is designed for good safe control over animals not only in the handling area but also when bringing animals to and from the handling unit and also features loading facilities which are designed to suit jeep and trailer or tractor/lorry trailers. Cleaning has also been carefully considered within the design.
This 5 bay beef shed features a slatted area for yearling and finishing cattle on one side and a cow/calf area on the other side, the centre of the shed has a very well designed cattle handling area which has safety to the fore. The circular forcing pen features swinging panels which eliminates the access restrictions often seen with this forcing pen design especially when trying to bring animals from spaces beyond the forcing pen.
