Prepare Your Four-Legged Crew for Winter Kidding Season With Our Panels, Grafting Boxes, Doors and Pen Components

If you have a livestock operation for goats, you will need to get ready for the winter kidding season. This can help mitigate the stress for you as an operator as well as your animals. D-S Livestock Equipment in Frostburg, Maryland has the sorting and separating equipment you will need to make this process as smooth as possible, whether you are looking for panels, grafting boxes or pen parts.

Our top-quality panels, grafting boxes, doors and pen components will keep your four-legged crew in optimal shape.

-We have lambing and kidding panels available in various heights and are strong and lightweight.
-Our panels have connectors that allow pens to be set back or against a wall for additional stability.
-You can connect a portable graft box to the pen by attaching it to the kidding panels so a kid can nurse even when the nanny has an issue with rejection. The nanny can also stand or lie down thanks to grafting box adjustment.

If you have a goat operation and are looking for the right equipment to help you with your winter kidding, we welcome you to call 800-949-9997 to speak with a representative at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment.

Fast Order Fulfillment Helps With Cattle Herd Management

Cattle operations tend to be very active with herd management and expansion during the late spring as well as throughout the summer. Sorting, managing and transporting an expanding herd might also call for installing new panels, pens and chutes. Timeliness can be a major factor for operations that need to sort and transport mature weight steers.

Here at D-S Livestock Equipment headquartered in Frostburg, Maryland, we maintain a vast inventory of high-quality chutes, panels and gates. This allows us to ship most orders within a week. Our products are available throughout the United States as well as internationally.

Our alley supports and alley gates easily attach to chutes and panels. The PC3030 Pal Cage connects behind all three styles of our chutes. Each of the side doors swings both ways and can lock in place to effectively block off the alleyway to provide you with access to the rear of the animal held in the chute.

Our AB36 R or L Anti Backup gates prevents your cattle from backing out of an alleyway. The unit can be mounted on the left or right side of the alleyway and bolts firmly with our solid panels. The spring-loaded gate swings out to 14-inches and folds flat as the animals move past. If necessary, the gate height can range is 14 to 50-inches high.

If you have a cattle operation in need of new chutes, panels and sorting equipment, you should call 800-949-9997 to speak to a representative at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment.

Grafting Boxes Can Reduce Stress Associated with Spring Kidding and Lambing

Spring can be a stressful and frenetic time in the livestock industry. Many operators of goat and sheep operations find themselves tasked with breeding and expanding their herds, while also trying to minimize stress to mother and offspring. This sometimes calls for separating animals with quality panels, doors and pens, as well as grafting boxes.

Here at D-S Livestock Equipment headquartered in Frostburg, Maryland, we offer a range of panels, grafting boxes and pen components. Our vast on-site inventory allows for quick order fulfillment and shipping to accommodate spring’s often unforeseen details.

Our panels come in a variety of heights. They are prized for being lightweight as well as strong. They can allow you to create pens ranging from 4×4 feet to 6×6 feet. Each panel includes double hole connectors designed to marry together with 3/8-inch rods. This makes it easy and convenient to set pens back to back or incorporate them into an existing wall.

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

The nanny or ewe can be stood up for longer periods of time, so she can lie down when trying to graft one to her. The convenient design of the panels and grafting boxes allows the box to be quickly moved from one pen to another. The stanchion can also be adjusted to accommodate a different sized animal.

If you have a goat or sheep operation and you are in need of a quality grafting box and panels, you should call 800-949-9997 to speak to a representative at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment.

 

Our Free Catalog Can Help Your Stay Informed About Livestock Equipment

The Turn O’Matic Work Station Can Help with Trimming an Animal’s Hooves

Hoof trimming and other handling procedures are often an essential part of any goat, sheep, or livestock operation. If you’re dealing with a large herd, or you have several stubborn animals attempting to physically manipulate them by hand by proving challenging. Indeed, some people have even become injured in the attempt.

Here at D-S Livestock Equipment, we offer a range of work tables and workstations that are designed to ease operations while also reducing the amount of stress the animal experiences.

One of the more effective options for handling sheep and goats is our Turn O’Matic workstation.

The TM5000 acts like a chute door, for loading the animal. Once the animal enters the enclosure, you simply press a button and it gently, yet firmly squeezes them to ensure they are immobilized. You can then operate the lift feature to raise them up.

You can then trim their feet or perform any other necessary procedures.

Our TM5000 can handle animals up to 310 pounds and can incorporate an optional wheel set or bolt on end gate. If you need to handle a larger animal, such as a Boer goat Buck we also offer our TM5000-2G, which is capable of handling animals up to 400 pounds in weight.

If you have a goat, sheep or cattle operation and you need a quality work table or workstation, you should call 800-949-9997 to speak to a representative at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment.

Convenient Financing Can Help Purchase Equipment for Rapid Herd Expansion

There are many factors that contribute to maintaining a thriving livestock operation. Each year your range, the number of head, and scope of service can expand and change. This might also include starting a new operation in a different location.

When an opportunity arises to expand your operation, or open a new track, you will likely need to purchase new livestock handling equipment. This could include new chutes, gates, handling and weighing equipment, as well as other specialty items.

Sometimes the overhead costs can exceed your liquid capital. In a situation like this, you can turn to D-S Livestock Equipment. We generally offer easier approval than you will find from a bank or other financial institution. We offer fair and competitive interest rates and an available inventory that can ship within seven business days.

Where it’s applicable, we can also help you understand some of the potential tax benefits of financing through D-S Livestock Equipment. This might include tax deductions and improved financial reporting.

We can also work with you to understand the minimal down payments required and payments associated with your monthly cash flow.

Panels and Doors Are Often Needed for Seasonal Shelters

As the summer season winds down and the cool breezes of fall descend upon the land, some sheep, goats, and cattle operations turn their focus to providing their livestock with an over winter shelter. This is even more likely to be the case for livestock operations in northern latitudes or at elevation.

Of course, simply housing livestock in a barn or pole shed might not be sufficient for maintaining their overall health and well-being. Most animals do better and appreciate the opportunity to spend time outdoors, in a large pen in an area or corral.

To answer this important need D-S Livestock Handling Equipment is proud to offer high-quality panels and doors.

Our 10-foot Open Bar Panels have 7 bars made from tough 1 ½ inch by 14-gauge square and round tubing. Each panel is connected by stout 5/8-inch locking pins.

Our Open Bar Door swings both ways. This is useful for providing access to holding pens and corrals. The frame is constructed of 2-inch by 14-gauge square tubing. The door is constructed from 1 ½-inch by 14-gauge square tubing.

Our 4-foot Solid Door provides you with access to alleyway if needed. It has a frame made from 2-inch by 14-gauge square tubing. The door itself is sheeted solid up to 57-inches. It is constructed from 1½-inch by 14-gauge tubing and includes a heavy ¾-inch spring loaded latch pin.
