Weighing Your Sheep and Goat Accurately and With Minimal Stress for Healthier Stock

This time of year when we’re heading into spring and sheep or goats may soon be giving birth, it’s important to be able to weigh your animals regularly and accurately.

At D-S Livestock Equipment in Frostburg, Maryland, our team offers the quality livestock handling equipment you need to keep your operations running smoothly. Our scales incur minimal stress to your animals so they are healthier and happier when it comes time to check on their health.

Weighing can be what tips you off if something’s going on with the herd so treatment can be implemented quickly. It’s important for you to know if an animal experiences sudden weight loss. If there’s a problem, they’ll need to be checked by your veterinarian to make sure there’s no threat of disease that could impact the rest of the animals.

Weighing also allows you to make sure your animals are gaining weight correctly and how fast they are gaining. Proper feed schedules with the necessary dietary nutrients they need, along with prompt medical treatment can be especially helpful when you are breeding your livestock. Our D-S Livestock Equipment offers top quality weighing equipment that supports your livestock operation.

Our Quality Panels and Doors Can Improve Your Seasonal Shelter for Your Livestock

Fall is almost officially here but the cold weather is already making itself known. This is a time when livestock operations such as sheep, goats and cattle herds need to prepare shelters for the harsher winter season, particularly for those located in higher elevations or in more northern locations.

For a thriving livestock business, it is important to keep your livestock healthy and safe to protect their health, fitness and stamina. This means allowing them to get some outdoor time in a pen or corral when feasible. A prepared shelter can help make this possible, as it allows them to get the exercise they need to help them destress and stay healthy.

At D-S Livestock Handling Equipment our team has been helping customers maintain healthier animals for many years. One of the ways we accomplish this is by offering high-quality equipment such as panels and doors.

If you are considering expanding your livestock sheltering options, you may benefit from the following:

Bar Panels – a 10-foot bar panel complete with 7 bars designed to be tough and durable. Made with a 1 ½ inch by 14-gauge square and round tubing these are connected by strong 5/8-inch locking pins.

Open Bar Door – these have the option of swinging inwards or outwards, depending on your shelter design that enable your animals to gain access to their corrals or holding pens. With a frame of 2-inch by 14-gauge square tubing and a door made of 1 ½-inch by 14-gauge square tubing you can expect durability and performance.

Solid Door – these 4-foot doors can give your animals access to an alleyway and comes with a 2-inch by 14-gauge square tubing frame and a sheeted door up to 57-inches. It is secured with a heavy ¾-inch spring-loaded latch pin.

This winter season shelter your livestock for and give them appropriate outdoor time when needed using our high-quality panels and doors. The knowledgeable representatives at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment are ready to help you with your order, so call 800-949-9997 today!

Seasonal Operations Often Call for Durable and Versatile Livestock Handling Equipment

If you operate a sheep or cattle ranch, chances are good that seasonal changes call for short-term operations at alternate locations. This could come in the form of docking spring lambs, separating the herd for summer grazing, and calving or sorting your herd before processing.

This could call for setting up a small operation in the field to conduct the process. Afterward, it could prove inefficient to simply leave the panels, doors, chutes or handling equipment in the field. It could serve you better in other parts of your ranch throughout the rest of the year.

The last thing you want is to have low-quality equipment become damaged in transport or prove to be too cumbersome. Here at D-S Livestock Equipment, we take pride in providing a wide array of livestock handling equipment that will stand up to the rigors of seasonal changes.

We keep a large inventory on hand to meet whatever scale your operation needs. With shipping available throughout the country as well as internationally, we can typically have the livestock handling equipment to you within a week.

If you operate a sheep, goat or cattle ranch and you need quality livestock handling equipment that will stand up to seasonal changes, you should call 800-949-9997 to speak to a representative at D-S Livestock.
