Winter kidding for a goat operation can be a somewhat stressful time for you the operator as well as the animals. Sorting, and separating while keeping a nanny and kids comfortable often calls for quality panels, doors, and pens.

Here at D-S Livestock Equipment we offer a range of panels, grafting boxes, and pen components to help you maintain an efficient operation during winter goat kidding season.

Our lambing and kidding panels come in a variety of heights. They are lightweight yet very strong, allowing you to create pens ranging from 4×4-feet to 6×6-feet. The panels include double hole connectors that use with 3/8-inch rods. This makes it easy and convenient to set pens back to back or against a wall.

A grafting box can be easily connected to the pens. They are designed to attach to the kidding panels. This helps hold a nanny in position so her kid can nurse even if she has a rejection problem.

The nanny can be stood up or adjusted for longer duration so she can lay down when trying to graft one to her. If needed the grafting box can easily be moved from one pen to another. If you also raise sheep the stanchion can be adjusted to accommodate a different size of animal.
