our poldenvale is best for drafting if youre not totally clear on what youre sorting, seperate ' scissors' / folding stop gate at the end of the race and lighweight drafting gate after it
can disrupt flow a bit but depends what your doing and how fast runners they are and how fast (or slow ) you are ................. as you get older
I do similar with my Poldenvale ‘scissors’ when I have the weigh crate sat on the front of the RAPPA yard to sort hoggets.
When drafting lambs off at weaning I’ve never found anything faster than the RAPPA race itself, with dogs pushing up the whole mob from behind. Can fair fly through the job, with the odd (Charollais) lamb think that going over the gate would be easier than turning their head. Not too old/slow to stop them yet though.
