A Quality Cattle Chute Helps With Sorting and Grooming

A quality and durable cattle chute plays a range of roles in seasonal operations. Not only does the unit help with the sorting and transporting of animals, it can also help with the administration of important veterinary care as well as grooming.

Here at D-S Livestock Equipment headquartered in Frostburg, Maryland, we are proud to offer a wide range of high-quality cattle chutes and other essential livestock equipment.

Our MC78 Cattle Chute can be converted with a GB 1-2 attachment to help with grooming treatments. Its strength and durability can help you safely groom an animal that is stressed or ill-tempered.

The MC78 chute is made from 2-inch by 14-gauge steel tubing. The rear and side doors are constructed from 1½-inch square tubing and are solid up to 32-inches high. The doors have a heavy ¾-inch spring-loaded latch pin made from solid steel that extends from the bottom to the top.

Its rear door can be mounted at two different heights. The MC78 also has a 6-inch opening near the front and side doors to provide you with easy access to the animal’s neck for giving injections.

There are three different head gates that can be combined with this cattle chute depending on the size of animal you are handling.

If you have a cattle operation in need of new chutes, or other handling equipment, you should call 800-949-9997 to speak to one of the representatives at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment.

Quality Sorting Equipment Can Help with Spring Shearing

Once seasonal lambing and breeding have been addressed many sheep operations will turn to the act of shearing. This is an essential element of maintaining the animal. At the same time, it can also be a significant source of incoming revenue.

Here at D-S Livestock Equipment headquartered in Frostburg Maryland, we understand that efficiency and effectiveness in this process are critical. To that end, we offer a variety of quality handling systems. Each can be varied to meet the shearing needs and scale of your operation.

Our System A includes our TS900 sorter with stop, it includes our RS1000 raceway support with a DP1 Drop Gate. It also incorporates an anti-backup arm and two 8-foot solid fold-down panels. The entire unit is linked together with 8 strong linking rods.

The System B includes many of the same components, yet it is larger. It also includes a sturdy rope tie bar as well as an 8-ft swing slide gate and three 8-ft solid curved tub panels.

For larger sheep shearing operations sour System E includes additional panels to provide you with a pen capable of holding many animals. This system also incorporates our 2G Turn O’Matic with end gates to help with other animal treatments that need to be performed. This can also help with efficient sorting.

If you have a sheep shearing operation in need of high-quality livestock handling equipment, you should call 800-949-9997 to speak to one of the representatives at D-S Livestock Handling Equipment.

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.
