Product Overview The Manual Two-Way Sheep Weighing Drafter combines a controlled goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep race, a weighing position and two selectable exit routes. An operator admits one animal, records its weight when compatible weighing equipment is fitted, and directs it into the appropriate group. The straightforward layout suits commercial sheep farms, livestock handling facilities and agricultural projects that need individual weighing and manual sorting.
Key Features
  • Single entry and two manually selected exits for practical flock sorting.
  • Controlled crate layout supports one-animal-at-a-time weighing.
  • Compatible load bars and a digital indicator can be specified for live-weight recording.
  • Accessible gates and a simple operating sequence support routine handling and cleaning.
  • Frame finish and connection details can be selected for the intended farm environment.
Structural Components A typical configuration includes a structural frame, single-animal weighing compartment, entry gate, manually operated two-way exit gate, floor assembly and mounting points for compatible load bars. An indicator, animal identification equipment and connecting race panels may be added according to project requirements. The final component list is confirmed with the supplied configuration.
Working Principle Sheep move from the lead-up race into the crate individually. When weighing equipment is installed, the animal stands on the supported weighing structure while its live weight stabilizes on the indicator. The operator then moves the drafting gate to direct the sheep through one of two exits. Gate selection is manual; electronic weighing and data recording depend on the selected equipment.

Applications Suitable for sorting lambs and adult sheep by weight, management group or inspection outcome. The unit can be incorporated into sheep yards, livestock handling sheds and steel structure buildings. For mixed-species agricultural projects or commercial pig farm construction, species-specific dimensions and gate arrangements should be reviewed before specifying the equipment.
Customization Options Available options may include crate dimensions, gate orientation, protective finish, race-panel connections, load-bar mounting arrangements and indicator compatibility. Share the sheep size range, existing yard layout and weighing system details so the configuration can be checked before production.
Installation & Maintenance Position the crate on a firm, stable base and align the entry and both exits with the handling races. Install and connect load bars in accordance with the selected weighing system instructions, then check gate travel and indicator readings before use. Remove manure and debris regularly, inspect hinges and latches, and keep weighing cables protected from animals and cleaning equipment.
