Transport Your Livestock to Their Winter Location in Safety and Comfort

As the year draws to a close, if you are running a livestock operation you probably have already gotten your animals ready for the inclement weather. It’s still not too late if you haven’t yet upgraded your equipment to better handle the current climate, especially if your sheep, goats or cattle are faced with harsh winds and freezes. Moving your animals to winter grounds can help as can having the right equipment on hand to protect your animals from the harsher seasonal elements.

Offering indoor shelter is important as it buffers wind shear and plummeting temperatures all of which can stress your animals, negatively affecting their general health and productivity. Keeping them sheltered and protected relieves stress so they can look, feel and perform their best. Your livestock’s strength is valuable to you, and having sorting, loading and hauling equipment helps ensure they provide you a better bottom line for your business.

Our D-S Livestock Equipment facility in Frostburg, Maryland has been helping livestock owners with equipment supplies for decades. Our quality equipment is designed to help livestock owners navigate the shifting seasonal weather anywhere in the world. We specialize in goat, sheep and cattle operations in particular and you can count on a quick turnaround time for timely delivery, wherever you are located.

Whether you need loading ramps to move sheep and goats so they can’t get hurt from turning around and getting stuck or a truck box for moving livestock in three sizes with a wide door that latches with a spring load and is designed to keep your animal’s heads and limbs from becoming stuck.

If you are currently looking to acquire top-quality loading and hauling equipment for your livestock operation, we invite you to check out our catalog as well as our in-house financing. You can also speak to us directly by calling 800-949-9997, Monday-Friday: 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. We look forward to assisting you with your livestock equipment needs!

Winter Feeding Stations Help Maintain Your Cattle, Sheep and Goat’s Healthy Weight for Optimal Health

With winter’s lower temperatures you will likely need to maintain higher nutrient requirements for your livestock operation. As the temps plummet your animals will require more calories just to keep themselves warm and maintain their body weight (or grow it). Cattle, sheep and goats can graze in pastures to get their energy from digesting complex carbohydrates in the grass, but if it is nearly gone, you’ll want to supplement their feed.

Winter feeding stations are an excellent way to supplement their grazing while they continue to feed on pastures during those wet and cold winter months getting their essential vitamins and minerals. They’ll also need protein which feeding stations can provide. Offering your animals protein from pellets or high-quality alfalfa hay can give them what they need to stay healthy and strong while helping their bodies stay warm in the season’s cold temperatures.

Winter feeding stations also mean you don’t have to worry about vegetation and soil erosion or the increase in the concentration of manure in certain areas that would pollute soil surface and groundwater with phosphorus and nitrogen. Our D-S Livestock Equipment, located in Frostburg, Maryland, has an established history of supplying high-quality livestock equipment all over the world.

We offer quality feeders, loading and hauling equipment, open-air panels and doors, show equipment, work tables and stations. Additionally, we take your equipment to the next level by ensuring it is also hot-dipped and galvanized (which is not common in our industry). This means we take the worry out of your equipment so it doesn’t rust or require painting.

Our feeders reduce your animal’s stress during harsh winter weather conditions to meet their nutritional requirements. We offer Outside Creeper Feeders that keep rain and sleet off their feed, while our 4-foot and 8-foot adjustable grain feeders give young and old sheep and goats the feed they need to thrive in the cold.

As Winter Looms Ahead, Now Is a Good Time To Prepare Your Lambs and Goats for the Winter Lambing and Kidding Season

With fall in full swing, winter is right behind it bringing with it the chilly winter weather. For owners of livestock such as goats and sheep, now is the time to plan ahead and prepare for lambing and kidding season. This is important for your animal’s safety and your own operation’s production goals.

Making sure your livestock maintains productive breeding so mating and birthing can continue on schedule means making sure your animals have easy access to nutritious feed so they can be healthy. For lambing/kidding season (typically September and October) means giving birth five months down the road. Providing the necessary feed to your animals gives the lambs and kids the nutrients they need to ensure survival. Access to good feed lessens potential health problems to ensure they not only survive but thrive. Lambs and goats require the proper facilities to support winter kidding:

  • Good feed
  • Fresh hay
  • Pens with dry
  • Access to animal health care and vaccinations

With the right equipment, you’ll be able to oversee your animals’ health, including checking your does regularly, providing vaccines, seeing that they aren’t plagued by lice or worms and are safely sustained throughout the winter weather. Warm facilities and access to feed help keep them warm by boosting their metabolism for optimal body heat.

Our D-S Livestock and Equipment facility offers you handling equipment to help you care for your livestock and ensure optimal productivity. Our inventory and storage allow us to ship your equipment wherever you are located. For your convenience, we also offer in-house financing. We also offer hot-dipped galvanized sheep and goat handling equipment including feeders, lambing creeping and kidding creeping equipment, loading and hauling equipment, weighing equipment and so much more.

If You Are in the Market for a Headgate for Your Cattle, DS Livestock Equipment Can Help!

When it comes to housing cattle, it’s important to have the right kind of equipment to run your business, farm or ranch. Headgates are a livestock handling equipment staple. No matter where you want your headgate to be placed, how easy it is to use will make all the difference in how effectively the daily handling of your cattle is carried out.

Cattle handling systems are crucial because they allow you to handle your animals humanely while also protecting the handler. If you don’t have a headgate you can’t easily treat a sick or injured animal even when a veterinarian is called out to treat it. When it comes to vaccinating your cattle, without a headgate it can’t be done safely and can endanger the health of the animal where it can potentially die.

Headgates are also important when your cattle must be corralled to be sold or slaughtered. Without a headgate, the animals will be hard to handle as they aren’t used to being in a closed-in area. For harvesting beef, this may negatively impact the flavor and texture, compromising it. The easier you can make the job of capturing and restraining your cattle, the more smoothly everything will ultimately run.

Having the right equipment for day-to-day use is crucial when handling your livestock. At D-S Livestock Equipment we offer a variety of headgate options when you need them, thanks to our well-stocked inventory. Additionally, we have a history of supplying our customers with the top-quality tools they need, wherever they are located in the country or on the other side of the world. Our quality headgates, in particular, simplify everyday use.

Whether you are capturing, breeding, culling, treating your cattle medically or detaining them, a good headgate is a crucial piece of equipment that allows you to handle your cattle safely. You can choose from three cattle head gate options:

  • V-Style Manual Headgate
  • Traditional Self Catch Headgate
  • The Spinlock Self Catch Headgate

If you are searching for a quality cattle headgate, we welcome you to call our experienced team in Frostburg, MD, for more information or to request a catalog of our handling equipment. You can reach us at 1-800-949-9997 to speak to one of our operators today! We are here to assist you wherever your operation is located in the world.
