Livestock Fence
A sheep yard panel is a portable steel hurdle for sorting and containing sheep. The number and spacing of rails, gate arrangement and connection method determine whether the yard works safely and efficiently.
Product overview
Animal type, handling pressure, terrain and mobility determine whether a roll, rigid panel or gate-and-post package is appropriate.
Sheep yard panels use lower heights and closer rail spacing than cattle panels to improve containment of smaller livestock.
For quotation comparison: An opening or panel suitable for one animal may not suit another; state species, age and fence function.
Specifications
Common panels are about 0.9–1.2 m high and 2.1–2.9 m long with six or seven rails and pin or lug connections.
