Definitely a fantastic investment - able to be assembled easily and once you are able to teach the sheep what to do - what a blessing it will be for you.
Thank you for sharing - the bad and the good. Y'all are a blessing to us!
Greetings! You produced a very nice video. We encountered much of the same issues when we set ours up a couple years ago. We always separate the lambs from the ewes first and run them separately. Once one sees a "friend going thru the set up each is obedient to follow! In our case we don't have a few hundred but right now only about 70. Our goal is to winter about 20-30 Katahdin breeding ewes and retain about 10 of the best ewe lambs for the next year. Be careful with the squeeze- I more than once got my fingers whacked when releasing the sides. My husband Jim gave me the right way to hit it to release without injury! That was a good idea to use your crook on the swing door of the crowding chute. In our case, we have this under cover in one of the barns so the entire set-up is easily accessible. Jim made me some shelves against the barn wall for guns, the rfid reader, meds, etc. Your idea of a portable "table" attached to the set up is a good one especially with an external, in the field set up. We have the scale set up immediately following the chute with the sort unit after the scale and the turn table last. We couldn't justify the extra cost of an electronic scale but use the analog type which for our volume is no big deal. With your size flock I imagine it will be more efficient for you to use the digital scale. When we run everyone thru to check feet, deworm,etc it takes us about 1.5-2 hours. We have been enjoying your videos for quite some time and appreciate the time you spend in both their creation and editing. Sorry this notte is so long! May many blessings abound for you and your family!. Enjoy your day and keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it. I figured we weren't the only ones that encountered these issues during first time uses. Thanks for the comments and hope you'll stick around on the channel!
It matches my tractor!!
It’s a good set up! Our system used a spring for the sweep and had to remove it for lambs. We put our Big Blue scale inline to weigh for more accurate dosing.
Gross, I don't want a green tractor 😂 I never even thought about more accurate dosing with the scale, that's an excellent point.
Looks like it will serve y’all well. Wonder if when you build another barn you could pour rough concrete to place the system. Then they have grip also. And add a cover? But looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Hopefully, that sure would be nice
Oh Brother you look bad sunburned! Nice set up and I don't mean to be critical at all I know your time is very limited.... but.... If you can put those sheep in the lot and let them walk through the system on their own to learn it. DONT touch them or do anything to them. Just lure them through with some feed and let them have the treat at the end. Food is the only thing I have found that sheep respond to or remember. Let them learn that walking through the system ends in something good. Do that a few times per week and they will likely do much better. Not perfect but better.
That is a good idea too but won't be easily managed for us. Their schute system is in the barnyard and they are in a different paddock every 5 days. They do not return to the same paddock for 2 months. Great idea though. The second time.through went way smoother than the first though. Just takes time to get them used to it
Aw, c'mon. Let the calf go through the chute
