Working Sheep Race

Description

Efficient, Safe, and Durable Sheep Handling

The Working Sheep Race is a practical and reliable solution for UK farmers who require a strong, efficient, and welfare‑focused system for managing sheep during drafting, drenching, weighing, or routine health treatments. Formed using race gates and 2.2 m long sheep hurdles, this race provides a secure, streamlined handling environment designed to improve flock flow and reduce stress for both animals and handlers.

Built for Strength and Stability

Constructed from high‑quality galvanised steel, the Working Sheep Race is engineered to withstand the demands of daily farm use. The 2.2 m sheeted hurdles create a solid, distraction‑free race wall, encouraging sheep to move forward naturally while minimising bruising and hesitation. Combined with durable race gates, the system offers excellent stability and long‑term performance in all weather conditions.

Designed for Smooth Sheep Flow

The Working Sheep Race is shaped to promote natural movement, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall handling efficiency. The enclosed sides prevent sheep from attempting to turn back, while the race gates allow handlers to control movement safely and effectively. This makes the system ideal for high‑throughput operations where speed, safety, and consistency are essential.

Versatile and Easy to Integrate

Whether used as part of a semi‑permanent yard or a portable handling setup, the Working Sheep Race integrates seamlessly with existing Clipex® sheep equipment. Its modular design allows farmers to extend, shorten, or reconfigure the race to suit different flock sizes and management tasks. This flexibility makes it suitable for drenching, drafting, tagging, weighing, and general flock control.
