Non return gates on sheep race.

[Greythundercloudys]

I was quoted 120£for them, isn't that abit expensive?

 

[shumungus]

[Greythundercloudys]

Best thing I’ve seen is a non return fork. @Gator has one.

Bought one bent one. It lives in the nettles they wont walk through but they will turn in the race and run back!

There is a bit of making in it, and it is galvanised. We make our own using fingers instead of gates and the dearest single bit is the springs.

That looks great.

But not what I meant. There's a poster with horned ewes who has something over the top of the race. The ewes duck under it moving forward then can't reverse.

I had some made off an old gate, mate of a mate made them about 8, 4 left and 4 right hand springs, made extra in case they broke but only broke on so far.

You can do a lot worse than make something like this. We made two from timber and wouldn't be without them now. We didn't even bother with the rubber as they fitted pretty well.

How high is that step please?

 

[Chapelton]

Ours are maybe 10-12 inches. They were made from off cuts from purlins so they’re quite solid/heavy which I think helps them.

 

[tinstrang]

So the sheep just trot up, jump off, never to be able to reverse? Clever.

+1 At £30 or so apiece, you can afford to put several in too. I have three in the lead up race to my CombiClamp now.
