Goat and Sheep Handling System

DIY goat and sheep handling system. Here is what we use to make sorting, deworming, hoof trimming, and handling much easier with a holding pen, crowd pen, squeeze chute, flip table, cut gate, and loading chute.

Excellent! I hope we can do something like this. I usually have 6 or 8 sheep. The older we get the harder it is to take care of them. We are 70.

[@jasonsilzle]

would really love to see more on that flip table man that's great! Love the videos bud!

I know everything costs money and more of it nowadays but you've got an excellent setup there with easily obtainable materials without spending several thousand dollars on specialized equipment. Definitely given me some good ideas for my own handling system.

[@lisakelley9451]

I jiust found your video spotlighting the flip table in particular... thanks!

[@tanyaraven9492]

My brother, who just sent me the link to this video, has modeled your flip table for use with his sheep. Now I can see why. Nice system you've created!

[@rollingofarm]

Thank you.

[@thisculturedlife2220]

Troubleshooting after going over to help a fellow homesteader vaccinate an unruly, horned buck. He's about 120lbs and way more than can be handled without a squeeze chute for sure. This is really helpful in visualizing how I might help them get control of their big boy!

Watched most of ROLLING O's videos. Notice he always has a long sleeve shirt on. Something to think about when you're in the sun all day. Most of the real cowboys in West Texas where I used to live, dressed similarly.

Nice setup. We're looking at converting a cow chute, and definitely getting a table! Those things will make this so much easier!!

Very helpful, thank you. It would be helpful to know also how wide the alley is. Did you also build the gates and the flip table?

Alleys are 20” wide. I did build the flip table. I have a video on it as well.

How did you build your sliding gates? I'm not far from you so I might come check them out

[@lonnieoldag9011]

I built the sliding gates out of old hand railing. I may try to do a video on the sliding gates because they are very handy.

[@leeshaffer9618]

Love your system. Have you tried to make it portable?

[@rollingofarm]

I have not tried to make it portable. I have all of my paddocks funnel into my working system. I believe it would be possible to move the flip table (but not easily), and the rest could be made out of portable panels.

[@abdulnawaz4314]

Very creative & efficient! Your tilt table... is that a specific purchase or did you cobble it together? If purchase, could you provide a link? If cobbled, do you have plans? Thanks!

[@rollingofarm]

I made it. I have a separate video for it.

[@JSomerled]

Decent system.

[@VikingGrazers]

Just want to say thank you for the video. I made my first handling system earlier this year out of pallets and it didn't work so well. Now I've read up more on how best to design it from a sheep's point of view I came across your video and it looks a hell of a lot easier than my current one. it is so wet here that I can't get my truck and trailer over to where I built it. Didn't occur to me how bad it would get. So I'm going to look into tearing it down, relocating it to the other opposite end of the field and starting again. How wide is your race/chute please? Mine was seemingly too narrow in one point and too wide in another and they got stuck. #Rookieproblems

[@rollingofarm]

My chute is 20" wide, which is too wide for most ewe and goats (they can turn around in it), but I want to be able to fit my largest rams through it too.

[@lynettetraylor7042]

Could you please share where you purchased that squeeze chute? We have been looking since seeing your video and can’t find one like it. Love Love your videos.

How big should a flock to be for a handling system to be useful?

[@rollingofarm]

I would say it is useful with any size flock, but over 30 animals it becomes really helpful. It also depends on how easy to handle your animals are.

[@ryaninman6307]

Thanks helpful. Where can find nice simple flip chute like you have. In Kansas beef country. Or someone have plans could build one.

[@brandonandkeiafink204]

How high/tall (in feet) does the metal siding go up to? Is it just 1, 36" panel?

[@rollingofarm]

Yes. It is just 10’ sheets of 36” wide roofing tin.

[@stickyprickbees3373]

Hey mate any reason why your sheep panel and all got tin over the the blind panels is this so shgep cant see through make walking through bettet

[@rollingofarm]

It actually makes it a little more difficult to get them to enter the race, but keeps them from getting legs or head hung as you work them. And keeps them moving to the end once in the race.

[@DiemenDesign]

Thanks for sharing, love and would like more information on the Flip Table, did you make that yourself, or is it a purchasable item? We're in Tasmania, Australia, and in the process of setting up a Goat Dairy. I really like the way you've setup those runs, and will think about designing something similar. Have subscribed, and will have to check out your other videos.

Sir did you build your slide gates. Or buy them

[@rollingofarm]

I built them out of some old hand railing from a school that was being torn down.

[@shawnhuffman2344]

can you tell me how wide you made your handling alleyways and if you'd do them any different (wider or more narrow). I plan to make mine out of pipe with everything welded and I don't want to make any errors! I have goats...about 50 and we just catch all of them to worm and vaccinate. It's truly a rodeo and very stressful for all involved. Would like to work smarter!

[@rollingofarm]

My alleys are 20”, which is a little too wide for most (smaller ones can turn around). However, a big Kiko buck with wide horns has trouble getting through it. So it’s kind of a compromise.

[@shawnhuffman2344]

@@rollingofarm Thanks for the response. Can you tell me how tall you made them? Using R Panel, it looks like 36" or so, but thought I would ask. All my stock has horns and I don't want to make them too short where my goats will jump out! Thanks again for the response!

Sorry, I don't have any drawings. My chute is 20" wide which allows the biggest rams to go through, but also allows smaller ewes to turn around which can be aggravating. Some make it as narrow as 16".

Do you worm all at the same time or check eyes

[@rollingofarm]

I check eyelids color. I think deworming only the ones that need it helps prevent producing resistant strains of parasites.

[@Lindseyfarms270]

Love the handling system gave me some good ideas

[@kathrynclark20]

I use Shaklee Basic H for reworking. 6cc monthly on their feed or the soap can be placed in their water. The soap disintegrates the exoskeleton of all worms- barber pole as well as other gut parasites. Non-toxic. Google for more info.
