Keep Your Cattle, Goats or Sheep in Their Best Health During This Winter Season With Our Quality Feeder Stations

The harsh winter season is almost here, bringing with it snow, ice and frequent freeze-thaw cycles that can impact your cattle, goat or sheep livestock operation. The challenge comes when you confine your livestock in smaller more sheltered environments until the weather warms up again.

If you are a farmer restricting your animal’s feed to more confined areas, this can impact the vegetation and soil erosion, as well as raising the concentration of manure in certain areas of your operation, potentially polluting the surface and groundwater with phosphorus and nitrogen. The good news is, winter feeding stations are created to allow your animals to feed while you safely contain their manure.

At D-S Livestock Equipment located in Frostburg, Maryland, we have been providing high-quality livestock equipment around the world including quality feeders, loading and hauling equipment, open-air panels and doors, show equipment, work tables and stations.

Using the Right Livestock Handling Equipment Can Help Your Animals Get To Their Winter Location Safely and Comfortably

With winter on its way you are likely getting your livestock ready for the shift in weather, and if you live somewhere there are harsh winds and freezes, you’ll be moving your animals to be sheltered on winter grounds. The northern latitudes in particular make it hard on animals that are outdoor in the elements.

Making sure your livestock have indoor shelter, buffering the winds and the drops in temperature will help ensure that they are minimally stressed, which can improve their overall health and consequently, productivity. Minimizing their stress as you relocate them helps them feel and act their best. The health and strength of your animals are crucial when they are migrating. This means having the sorting, loading and hauling equipment you need and will ensure a healthy bottom line by protecting your animal’s health.

Since 1982, our D-S Livestock Equipment facility located in Frostburg, Marland, not only understands the potential dangers in the shifting seasonal weather but has helped our customers around the globe receive the livestock handling equipment they require. Protecting goat, sheep and cattle operations is our specialty. We provide a quick turnaround time to ensure timely delivery in both the U.S. and international markets, thanks in large part to our vast inventory.

Loading Ramps: Our LR96 portable loading ramp moves groups of sheep and goats. With 10-inch wheels, these ramps keep your animals balanced and comfortable while transporting them into their livestock trailer. Complete with five height settings, the ramp can be adjusted to keep a nervous goat or lamb from turning around and getting hurt.

Truck Boxes: If you are moving small groups of livestock our truck boxes are great. They come in three sizes – the TR36, TR46 and TR48 with a 24-inch wide door that latches with a spring load. Their bars are tightly spaced so that a smaller animal can’t get their heads or limbs stuck. The bars are easily and quickly installed in the truck box, and when that is done, they are easily disassembled to be placed in storage after loading and hauling your animals to their winter location.

Are you looking for quality loading and hauling equipment for this fall’s livestock operation transition? We can help! Just call 800-949-9997 or request a catalog. Our D-S Livestock Handling Equipment team is ready to provide your livestock operation with the vital, quality equipment you need!

It’s Time To Get Your Lambs and Goats Ready for the Winter Lambing and Kidding Season

Winter season is around the corner and farmers who work with goats and sheep need to make sure that lambing and kidding season progresses properly to reach anticipated production goals. Successful breeding means taking advantage of the best times to mate and give birth so that the animals have access to the nutrition they need to thrive.

Lambing/kidding season includes the months of September/October where they will give birth five months later. At this stage, your animals need to have the necessary support to ensure the survival of the lambs and kids. This includes preventing the animals’ exposure to health problems and access to optimal feed.

If you are a commercial producer, having the right kind of facilities to support winter kidding is essential. Providing proper feed, clean water, hay that is fresh and pens that are dry with bedding and providing needed health care. Checking the does once a month or more before kidding means checking hoofs, providing vaccines and making sure there are no lice and worms. And finally, making sure the does and kids are protected from the harsh winter weather effects, depending on your climate.

You’ll likely need to provide extra care for these animals during the winter to protect them from the cold and keep them warm. Sufficient feed will stoke their metabolism for needed body heat. Your successful livestock operation depends on your animal’s thriving under your care.

At D-S Livestock and Equipment, we have all the handling equipment you may need to care for your animals and keep them healthy for maximum productivity. We ship around the world and offer in-house financing as needed. We offer high-quality, hot-dipped galvanized sheep and goat handling equipment:

  • Feeders
