G'day folks,I thought i would start a new thread for this topic.
So after nearly 50 years of having livestock we "invested" in a proper stet of yards for drafting,drenching and loading of livestock.Jenny,daughter(Nicole) and myself over the last two days have modified the original design and erected them.The result is a handling system that gives the farmer 5 options when the sheep enter the drafting race.The final design means that you can draft into 4 different yards or load onto truck or trailer. The yards should be able to comfortably handle 200 head.Drafting into any of the 4 yards is controlled from one central point .The 4 yards are all interconnected and can be selected independently of the race....Needless to say you will see them in action on their first use, of course the dogs will now have to undergo training as how this new system works but i am sure they will take to it because it is "so " easy for them to get the right result for me.
BTW,the red dye will wash off the first shower of rain.
Today i am too exhausted to do anything much, ( jenny is baking and i am resting and writing.).
