Was wondering what you use for a scale and where is it located in your setup? How do you trim hoofs? Do you use some type of turn table or headgate? If used for shearing would I run them through and pull them out a side gate?

When we need to use a scale we put it between the guillotine and
the stop gate. We use a small scale that we nolonger sell. We also use
a turn cradle that is not being made now for foot trimming. We are looking
for replacements for both the scale and the cradle.
Using the side gate for shearing can be very helpfull.The shearer has sheep
wainting for him one at a time.

Do you think you may start manufacturing your own?

We are testing other brands now. We will most likely build our own
so we can try to put in the best ideas from around the world. I would
like to have something by the next sheep catalog.
