self locking yokes

[Forever Fendt]

looking to put 180 self locking yokes in a new building we are putting up at the moment for dairy cows what are the best to go for they will be above a concrete panel the shed is 20 bays so can be 10 or 20 ft sections and any idea of price and contacts tia

We have Deboer ones. They are about £68 per cow space at 2' centres. That includes posts and timber for below them so you may get them cheaper for using panels. They are in 10' sections.

Jordain ones are slighty cheaper.

Advantages of Deboer ones is that all the mechanics for the yokes is covered in and you can let the cows out individually or all together.

Forever fendt, feel free to contact me for pricing, as fergieman said the jourdain yokes work out slightly cheaper and can also be individually released or locked allowing to select which cattle to work with. Number is 07824 818386 thanks

Newer type yolks open at the bottom so you can get them out if this happens.

I heard about 3 cattle who pulled their section of locking yoke away from the posts and choked to death
