It’s a high-quality work station that allows your handler to load the animal safely into the chute enclosure and squeeze them gently until they are secure.

Protect Your Livestock Operation With the Help of a Quality Mineral Feeder

At D-S Livestock Equipment we are confident that you will find the livestock handling equipment you need at the prices you want. We have been shipping our equipment around the world for some time now for highly satisfied customers. Whether you run a cattle, sheep or goat operation, you’ll find the quality equipment you are looking for!

Keeping your livestock healthy is the number one priority and we can help you do that. This time of year, pastures are growing and feeding your animals for local foraging. Supplementing their foraging means having the proper feeders that allow them easy access to their nutritional needs.

Healthy livestock depend on the feed they are getting and the mineral augmentation their bodies require to avoid deficiencies from their diet. If you have animals displaying any of the following, they may have a mineral deficiency:

  • Poor growth rate
  • Reduced appetite
  • Lost weight
  • Diminished milk production
  • Lowered reproduction

Your livestock may benefit from supplementing their feed with the minerals they need to stay healthy and productive, Including:

  • phosphorus
  • magnesium
  • salt
  • calcium
  • potassium
  • zinc
  • copper
  • selenium
  • sulfur
  • manganese
  • cobalt
  • iron
  • iodine

The mineral feeders we offer at D-S Livestock Equipment, the MF1 mineral feeder, holds up to 50 pounds of mineral supplement. It has a feeder edge of 15 inches, while the MF2 mineral feeder holds 20 pounds of mineral supplement and is 13 inches from the ground. Made from a one-piece molded polyurethane unit, they come with a round 36-inch steel base that turns from the wind movement. You can count on the feeder to avoid inclement weather exposure from rain, sleet, snow, and other kinds of moisture that could damage the feed.

We welcome you to check out our high-quality mineral feeders as well as our other feeders to protect your livestock’s health. You can also call us at 1-800-949-9997 and we are happy to answer your questions.

Help Your Livestock Operation Thrive With Weighing

Whether you are running a livestock operation with sheep, goat, and cattle or are raising animals to show, you’ll want to weigh your animals regularly to make sure they are developing properly, the operation is running smoothly, and you are getting the best return on your investment. At D-S Livestock Handling, we offer a wide range of scales with minimal stress for your animal to supply your operation’s needs.

Weighing your animals allows you to keep track of the health of your livestock which is important to your production. When you use the right equipment for the job, you’ll be able to quickly notice if there is a sudden drop in weight for an animal. When you know weight loss is happening, particularly rapid weight loss, you can contact your veterinarian immediately to see if there is a harmful disease that may potentially threaten your herd. Early treatment can keep illness and disease from spreading to the rest of your herd.

When you regularly weigh your animals, you can make sure they are gaining weight as they should and also measure how fast the weight gain is happening. This can help you know which animals need less feed (or more feed), and which ones need medical care. If you are breeding your livestock, a scale can help you make sure your animals are healthy and when the best time is for breeding. The animal’s weight can help your veterinarian to advise dietary changes or nutrients which may need to be added to the diet.

At D-S Livestock Equipment, we have been supplying high-quality equipment to various livestock operations since 1982. The Roll O’Matic with Scale Attachment comes with four beam load cells with an accurate weight indicator and indicator holder. It can quickly and accurately weigh your animal in the roll table without needing a separate scale. The RM6000S is fully galvanized to avoid rusting and allows the animal to enter easily with fewer distractions toward our V-type manual headgate, while the back support and headgate work to keep the animal in position.

We also have a 550-Pound Standard Dial that can be used with our SSD51 scale or with our S1102 winch stand scale attachment. Our 400-Pound scale uses a 7-inch dial with weight increments within 1-pound, with a maximum capacity of 400 pounds. Our digital scales, including the E500, have a maximum capacity of 500-pounds and is accurate within 1-pound increments. It also comes with a 1-year warranty. If you upgrade the E500 to our DS01, you’ll receive an RS232 printer and computer output. When fully charged the unit will have up to 40-hours of battery life which can help when weighing animals in areas where power may not be available.

If you are looking for weight scales that are accurate and durable, we invite you to call 800-949-9997 to speak with one of our knowledgeable representatives today!

A Portable Loading Ramp Aids in Seasonal Sorting

Spring and early summer can be a time of frenetic activity for goat, sheep and cattle operations around the country. This often calls for kidding, lambing, sorting and transporting herds.

Moving overwintered animals and young to their new grounds can be challenging. Sometimes even a willing animal will refuse to simply step up into a loading truck or chute.

Here at D-S Livestock Equipment, we understand these factors and we provide a wide range of animal handling solutions. This includes our 8-foot portable loading ramp.

The LR96 has well balanced 10-inch wheels that are easy to push from either end of the device. The amp has 5 height setting adjustments at increments of 2, 2 ½, 3, 3 ½, and 4 feet. The bottom of the unit is 12 inches wide to prevent animals from turning around.

It also features angled sides and the top of ramp includes side panel adjusters to accommodate different loading heights.

We keep a significant inventory on hand to help meet orders quickly. D-S Livestock Equipment can ship products on an international level.

If you have a goat, sheep, cattle, or other livestock operation in need of quality loading ramps or other supplies, you should call 800-949-9997 to speak to a representative at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment.

Quality Panels and Grafting Boxes Can Help Reduce Stress During Winter Kidding

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.

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