Tips and Recommendations:

  • Seek Veterinary advice: Before hiring our equipment, we recommend talking to your vet to understand what equipment they need to perform the required veterinary treatment safely and effectively. NOTE: Our equipment is not a vet crush system and does not include a head bale.

  • Plan Ahead: We recommend collecting the gates and panels a few days before the scheduled procedure. This gives your Companion Cow time to get acquainted with the area, ensuring a more relaxed experience on the day of the procedure.

  • Equipment List: Hire equipment includes; 2 x sliding gates, 1 x side access gate, 6 x standard cattle panels, and 18 pins and clips to ensure maximum security.

  • Trailer and Straps: You'll need a box trailer measuring at least 2.5 x 3 meters in size to transport the panels safely. Don't forget to bring along straps to secure the panels during transportation.

  • Team Effort: Loading and setting up the yards require at least 2- 3 strong people to handle the gates effectively.
