This might be the reason for the over inflated pricesThey are ridiculously expensive but when you factor in 40% grant and they don’t depreciate if looked after they’re not too bad.

As long as you don’t get a leg through one!Ex Motorway crash barriers are the best DIY races I have seen on my travels.
Can be stand alone and use barriers cut down or telegraph poles as the uprights, then bolt 3-4 laterals to the uprights.
Seen them bolted to the inside/outside of a steel frame building many times.
Need the bottom 2 barriers positioned close together to prevent this happening, but I can see that this could be an issue with cattle pushing shoving in a race.As long as you don’t get a leg through one!
That's a great job there @young bull well done. few years on now is there anything you would have done differently?New cattle handling shed
Finally finished our new handling shed all done by ourselves on farm it's taken a while as we've done in and among other jobs but quite pleased with how it's turned out. 30' x 15' x 12' to the eaves Putting up the steel work. Rolling the base. Fitting the concrete panels. Concreting the...thefarmingforum.co.uk
This is the one we made ourselves a few years ago now.
Essential.A central cattle free area for people and everything else is good to have .
I made a gate to swing 280 degrees to bring cattle rinound the turn in to the race
It also folds in the middle to let cattle past rather than have to push them back to Get the gate open for next batch, that saves a lot of space
Sliding gates , vet box and squeeze crush
Works well
Thanks ideally we’d have had more space around the crush either side and had a longer race but we were a bit limited on yard space so wasn’t really an option. Other than it works perfectly for us.That's a great job there @young bull well done. few years on now is there anything you would have done differently?
