Sheep Hurdles
Strong, Lightweight & Versatile Solutions for Modern Flock Handling
Sheep hurdles are one of the most essential and versatile pieces of equipment on any sheep farm. Whether you’re building a temporary pen, creating a mobile handling system, managing lambing pens or setting up a full flock‑handling yard, high‑quality sheep hurdles provide the flexibility, strength and ease of use needed for efficient flock management.
Designed to withstand the demands of UK farming, modern hurdles are lightweight enough for quick setup yet durable enough to handle high‑pressure situations during dosing, dagging, foot trimming and sorting.
Why Sheep Hurdles Are Essential for Flock Management
Our range of sheep hurdles includes standard, heavy-duty, lambing and specialist designs, all engineered for long-term reliability and welfare-friendly handling. With options suitable for smallholders, commercial flocks and contractors, you can build a system that adapts to your flock size, terrain and management style.
Sheep hurdles are the foundation of any effective handling system. Their versatility makes them invaluable for a wide range of tasks:
- Quick and easy penning for routine handling
- Flexible layouts for mobile or permanent yards
- Safe containment during dosing, dagging and inspection
- Efficient sorting and drafting when paired with race systems
- Lambing pen creation for individual or group setups
- Temporary fencing for fieldwork or multi‑site operations
Because they can be moved, reconfigured and stored with ease, hurdles are ideal for farms that need adaptable, welfare‑friendly solutions.
