TAILING CHUTES
Save time, money and your back!
The Te Pari Tailing Chute is an efficient and practical design to help ranchers save time and money. The chute fits between three and seven lambs, who can be lamb marked simultaneously by two or more operators, making it ideal for drenching, ear marking, tailing, castrating and vaccinating lambs. The tipper allows the lambs to be tipped out of the chute rather than pulled and dropped.
HOW IT WORKS
To set up the Te Pari Tailing Chute, simply attach the loading end of the cradle on the top rail of your lamb-catching pen and adjust the height of the other end of the cradle to suit the operator tailing. The chute’s restraining bars can be adjusted according to the size of the lambs. One operator loads the lambs into the cradle and can also ear tag, ear mark and vaccinate. Another operator stands at the other end of the cradle, where they castrate and dock lambs.
With one or more operators working on either side of the cradle, the system can comfortably process more than six lambs a minute. Once lamb marking is complete, lambs are pulled out of the cradle by their back legs and dropped onto their feet.
