Fixed Cattle Handling Systems

Incorporated animal welfare and safety features:

• Cattle easily become distracted when moving through confined spaces, therefore our race panels are fully clad to a height of 1560mm to reduce distractions and aid flow
• The semi-circular forcing pen turns the cattle through 180 degrees which is driven by research suggesting cows have a tendency to return to the direction they came from
• Narrow personnel gaps provide the handler with access to the holding pens or egress in emergencies
• It is advised that the race exit points towards the cattle housing or field as cattle will move better when going in the direction of their housing environment
• The 4880mm x 3195mm holding pen areas are designed to only hold a small number of cattle at any one time because cattle behaviour experts indicate a small group of cattle will move much easier than a larger group
