Prattley 3 Way Sheep Auto Drafter - Sliding Gate

The Prattley 3 Way Sheep Auto Drafter: Weigh and Draft Your Sheep With One Person on the Job

If you're still running a full crew to get your sheep weighed and drafted, the Prattley 3 Way Sheep Auto Drafter is the kind of equipment that changes how you work. One operator can handle the entire weighing and drafting process, with the auto drafter coordinating directly with your external indicator, recorder, and load bars to run a smooth and efficient operation from start to finish. Whether you need left or right hand configuration, both options are available.

What Makes the 3-Way Slide Gate AutoDraft Stand Out

The headline number here is around 600 sheep per hour on the auto weigh function. That's serious throughput for a single operator setup, and it's achieved through quiet pneumatic operation that keeps the animals calm and moving without the noise and stress that comes with louder mechanical systems. Less stressed sheep means faster flow through the race and a more consistent result at the end of the day.

Draft Your Way With the 3-Way Slide Gate AutoDraft

One of the strongest features of this drafter is how many ways you can sort your mob. You're not locked into one drafting method, you can choose whichever approach suits the job at hand. Draft by weight, draft by weight gain, draft from an EID tag database, or use the remote for manual drafting by sight when you need to make a call on an individual animal. Selective weighing and drafting gives you even more control, and the selective bypass function lets you skip the weighing cycle altogether when you don't need it.

Practical Features That Make the Job Easier

A few features on this unit stand out for day to day use on the farm. The weigh then hold function lets you stop an animal after weighing and inspect it before it gets drafted, which is handy when you want a closer look at something before making a decision. The remote override of the indicator's draft range gives you flexibility on the fly without having to go back to the indicator to make adjustments. EID compatibility means it integrates with your existing tag and recording setup without any workarounds.
