Embracing September: A Harvest of Innovation in Livestock Handling Equipment

As the warm embrace of summer starts to dwindle, the arrival of September heralds not only the transition to fall but is also a time of renewed focus on livestock management and handling for the chillier months ahead. When it comes to agriculture, this month brings with it a unique blend of changing seasons and cutting-edge innovations in livestock handling equipment so your operation can continue running smoothly.

September marks a pivotal juncture for farmers and ranchers, as you prepare to harvest crops and ensure the well-being of your livestock before the colder months set in. Livestock handling becomes an art as much as a science, and the tools at hand are essential for seamless operations. Having the right tools and equipment effectively helps minimize stress on both animals and handlers.

One cannot overlook the crucial role technology plays in modern agriculture. Advanced solutions like automated sorting systems that reduce human intervention and stress on livestock during sorting processes are revolutionizing. Cutting-edge equipment employs RFID technology, allowing for efficient tracking and identification of individual animals, ensuring personalized care for farm animals.

Ingenious designs also take center stage, with equipment designed to mimic natural environments. Circular pens, modeled after natural herd formations, foster a sense of security among livestock, easing their transition through various stages of handling. These setups not only minimize stress but also enhance efficiency.

With fall around the corner, farmers, ranchers and agricultural enthusiasts are presented with an opportune moment to explore the latest trends in livestock handling equipment. By embracing the best of both worlds, the agricultural community can ensure the well-being of their livestock, streamline operations, and pave the way for a bountiful harvest and a sustainable future.

Winter Feeding Stations Help Maintain Your Cattle, Sheep and Goat’s Healthy Weight for Optimal Health

With winter’s lower temperatures you will likely need to maintain higher nutrient requirements for your livestock operation. As the temps plummet your animals will require more calories just to keep themselves warm and maintain their body weight (or grow it). Cattle, sheep and goats can graze in pastures to get their energy from digesting complex carbohydrates in the grass, but if it is nearly gone, you’ll want to supplement their feed.

Winter feeding stations are an excellent way to supplement their grazing while they continue to feed on pastures during those wet and cold winter months getting their essential vitamins and minerals. They’ll also need protein which feeding stations can provide. Offering your animals protein from pellets or high-quality alfalfa hay can give them what they need to stay healthy and strong while helping their bodies stay warm in the season’s cold temperatures.

Winter feeding stations also mean you don’t have to worry about vegetation and soil erosion or the increase in the concentration of manure in certain areas that would pollute soil surface and groundwater with phosphorus and nitrogen. Our D-S Livestock Equipment, located in Frostburg, Maryland, has an established history of supplying high-quality livestock equipment all over the world.

We offer quality feeders, loading and hauling equipment, open-air panels and doors, show equipment, work tables and stations. Additionally, we take your equipment to the next level by ensuring it is also hot-dipped and galvanized (which is not common in our industry). This means we take the worry out of your equipment so it doesn’t rust or require painting.

Our feeders reduce your animal’s stress during harsh winter weather conditions to meet their nutritional requirements. We offer Outside Creeper Feeders that keep rain and sleet off their feed, while our 4-foot and 8-foot adjustable grain feeders give young and old sheep and goats the feed they need to thrive in the cold.

Keep Your Cattle, Goats or Sheep in Their Best Health During This Winter Season With Our Quality Feeder Stations

The harsh winter season is almost here, bringing with it snow, ice and frequent freeze-thaw cycles that can impact your cattle, goat or sheep livestock operation. The challenge comes when you confine your livestock in smaller more sheltered environments until the weather warms up again.

If you are a farmer restricting your animal’s feed to more confined areas, this can impact the vegetation and soil erosion, as well as raising the concentration of manure in certain areas of your operation, potentially polluting the surface and groundwater with phosphorus and nitrogen. The good news is, winter feeding stations are created to allow your animals to feed while you safely contain their manure.

At D-S Livestock Equipment located in Frostburg, Maryland, we have been providing high-quality livestock equipment around the world including quality feeders, loading and hauling equipment, open-air panels and doors, show equipment, work tables and stations.

It’s Time To Get Your Lambs and Goats Ready for the Winter Lambing and Kidding Season

Winter season is around the corner and farmers who work with goats and sheep need to make sure that lambing and kidding season progresses properly to reach anticipated production goals. Successful breeding means taking advantage of the best times to mate and give birth so that the animals have access to the nutrition they need to thrive.

Lambing/kidding season includes the months of September/October where they will give birth five months later. At this stage, your animals need to have the necessary support to ensure the survival of the lambs and kids. This includes preventing the animals’ exposure to health problems and access to optimal feed.

If you are a commercial producer, having the right kind of facilities to support winter kidding is essential. Providing proper feed, clean water, hay that is fresh and pens that are dry with bedding and providing needed health care. Checking the does once a month or more before kidding means checking hoofs, providing vaccines and making sure there are no lice and worms. And finally, making sure the does and kids are protected from the harsh winter weather effects, depending on your climate.

You’ll likely need to provide extra care for these animals during the winter to protect them from the cold and keep them warm. Sufficient feed will stoke their metabolism for needed body heat. Your successful livestock operation depends on your animal’s thriving under your care.

At D-S Livestock and Equipment, we have all the handling equipment you may need to care for your animals and keep them healthy for maximum productivity. We ship around the world and offer in-house financing as needed. We offer high-quality, hot-dipped galvanized sheep and goat handling equipment:

  • Feeders

Your Guide to Livestock Equipment: Goats

If you are new to livestock equipment, you may need to know a thing or two about the essential equipment pieces to help make your goat business run properly. Here at D-S Livestock Equipment, we are prepared to give you an in-depth look at basic equipment pieces you will need to run a successful business.

Feeders

Like any other animal, it is important to feed your goats. There are several different types of feeders out on the market, from bale feeders, hay baskets, to troughs. Our recommendation would be a combination feeder, where you have the ability to feed your goats hay and grain in one equipment piece.

Located in an area that rains a lot? Not a problem, there are several feeders that offer protection from the outside elements.

Handling Systems

Handling systems can go from very basic to extremely complex. Depending on the size of your business, you will want to choose a system that is right for you. These systems contain components that will allow you to sort, deworm, inspect or tag your goats without harming the animal or you.

Weighing

Weighing your goats is important for your business because it helps record the health of each goat. When you know the weight of a goat, you have the ability to calculate medication dosage, balance food rations and monitor any weight gain.

Work Tables

Having work table is essential for your goat business. Many times it can be difficult to handle, flip and keep a livestock animal still. We provide work table and station options for you so you don’t have to worry about that. Most work tables will secure the animal upright, allowing the goat to be flipped without any complications.

So no matter what your decision is, it is important to always have the safety of you and your animals in mind. Please give a call at [phone] today! We will make sure you have the best for your business.
