Sheep Yard Components
Build Safe, Efficient & Welfare‑Friendly Handling Systems
Sheep yard components are the building blocks of an efficient, safe and welfare‑focused flock handling system. Whether you’re constructing a permanent yard, setting up a semi‑permanent system or creating a mobile handling layout in the field, the right components ensure smooth sheep flow, reduced stress and safer working conditions for handlers.
From hurdles and gates to race sections, forcing pens, drafting modules and weighing integrations, high‑quality sheep yard components allow you to design a system that suits your flock size, terrain and management style.
Why Sheep Yard Components Matter
Our comprehensive range of sheep yard components is engineered for durability, practicality and ease of use, making them ideal for UK sheep farms of all sizes. Built to withstand the demands of British weather and high‑pressure handling situations, these components help streamline routine tasks and improve overall flock management.
A well‑designed sheep yard relies on strong, reliable and welfare‑friendly components. Each element plays a crucial role in ensuring:
- Smooth, controlled sheep movement through races and pens
- Reduced stress and agitation, supporting better welfare outcomes
- Improved handler safety during dosing, dagging, foot trimming and inspection
- Faster processing times, ideal for busy lambing or dosing periods
- Accurate weighing and performance monitoring when integrated with EID systems
- Efficient sorting and drafting for flock management
- Adaptability for seasonal or multi‑site operations
With the right components, farmers can build a yard that works efficiently year‑round.
