[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4827978, member: 348"] How many sheep, and what type/size are they? Are you looking to use i5 for everything, and everywhere? I have had a RAPPA since they first came out, and consider it better built than the Prattley I had for 19 years previously. However, I wouldn’t think there’s a lot to choose between the RAPPA, Prattley or Scotpen tbh. The Alligator is a cheaper yard, but far lighter/weaker built, but may be enough for your needs? (I know my miserable Charollais ewes would kill one quickly though). If you’re happy to take a bit longer, and put a bit more work 8n, setting up, then a GSF steel one could be very good value from the looks of them.(y) Personally, how I utilise a mobile yard here now, i’d Probably plump for a GSF if I was looking today, but every farm and situation is different. When the first bought the Prattley, we were running grasskeep here, there and everywhere:banghead: and it was a revelation. [/QUOTE]
