Sheep Handling Trailer
£8,640.00 Inc. VAT
Sheep Handling Trailer
£8,640.00 Inc. VAT
Moving 200–300 sheep through a static yard can burn daylight, labour and fuel in equal measure. With the LM Bateman Sheep Handling Trailer you take the race to the flock (not the flock to the race) cutting travel miles, set-up time and animal stress in one stroke. Conceived as a fully self-contained workstation, the trailer carries 27 polypropylene-clad hurdles, a hydraulically-lowered race, four-way drafting gates and its own lighting board, yet tows behind any suitable 4×4 or tractor. Once on site it converts from road-legal trailer to professional handling race in minutes, letting one or two people weigh, dose, dag and draft up to 250 sheep per session with minimal fuss.
- Four-way drafting – a two-way shedding gate at the race exit plus two mid-race drafting gates give instant 3-or-4-pen sorting.
- Polypropylene-clad race – smooth, quiet panels discourage bruising and noise-induced balking.
- Galvanised steel frame – hot-dip zinc coating protects against winter salt and silage acid.
- Hydraulic hand pump – lowers the axle so the race floor rests on the ground for safe, step-free entry.
- 27 lightweight 6-ft hurdles with skids – slide effortlessly across grass or yard; store in onboard cradles during transport.
- Aluminium chequer-plate floor – non-slip, corrosion-proof and quick to hose.
- Spring-loaded removable light board – road towing visibility with push-button detachment when you’re ready to work.
- Jockey wheel and removable axle – unhitch, level and stabilise single-handedly.

Sheep System E
£8,364.74 Inc. VAT
LM Bateman Sheep System E is fast, calm, and organised handling in a compact footprint. Designed around real flock workflows, Sheep System E brings a shaped forcing pen, a controlled-flow race, two generous drenching/personnel races, and dedicated drafting pens together into one cohesive layout. The result is smoother movement, safer, quicker jobs, and fewer miles on your legs. From routine dosing and tagging to sorting culls or splitting ewes and lambs, this system keeps sheep flowing in the right direction with minimal stress for animals and handlers alike. Built in galvanised steel with practical gate hardware, it’s a durable investment that fits neatly into yard space while still offering larger collecting pens and two true drafting pens. Opposite-hand versions are available on request, so the system can be mirrored to suit your preferred working side, yard approach, or vehicle access. If you want predictable sheep flow, confident stock control, and a setup that cleans down quickly, Sheep System E delivers—without overcomplicating your day.
