Kurraglen Farmhand Sheep & Goat Handler

The Kurraglen Farmhand Sheep & Goat Handler: Safer, Easier Animal Handling at a Comfortable Working Height

Whether you're running meat sheep, wool sheep, or goats, the physical demands of handling and treating animals manually adds up quickly over a long day in the yards. The Kurraglen Farmhand Sheep and Goat Handler takes the effort out of the process by restraining the animal and rotating it onto its side at a comfortable working height of approximately 600mm, so you can carry out treatments, inspections, and procedures without hunching over or wrestling with the animal to keep it still. Built in Australia from Australian steel with aluminium checker plate sides and floor, it's a well thought out piece of equipment that makes a real difference to how you work.

A Smarter Entry and Exit Design With the Kurraglen Farmhand Sheep & Goat Handler

One of the most practical design differences in the Farmhand handler is the batwing entry and exit gates. Traditional handlers use a large single swinging gate that opens into the face of the animal, which can cause hesitation and stress as animals approach. The batwing design avoids that problem entirely, resulting in smoother entry and less animal resistance during the loading process. The handler can be operated with animals entering from either the left or right hand side, which gives you flexibility depending on how your yards are set up and which direction animals are flowing through on the day.

Full Control With Minimal Effort With the Kurraglen Farmhand Sheep & Goat Handler

Once the animal is in the handler, two independently operated restraining bars control the neck and flank separately, giving you precise and secure control over the animal during procedures without needing a second person to assist. The ratchet parts are laser cut and zinc plated for durability and smooth operation, and the handler rotates the animal onto its side with minimal physical effort so the job doesn't wear you out before you've even started the treatment. Brackets to secure the unit to a concrete slab are included, keeping the handler stable and in position during use.

Built for Everyday Farm Use With the Kurraglen Farmhand Sheep & Goat Handler

The aluminium checker plate sides and floor are practical choices for a working handler, providing durability and easy cleaning after use. At 130kg the unit has a solid and stable feel during operation, and the overall dimensions of 1400mm long by 1200mm wide give you a comfortable working footprint without taking up more space in the yards than necessary. Suitable for both sheep and goats, it's a versatile handler that earns its place on any mixed operation running either species.
