Sheep Handling Systems

Sheep Handling Systems – Bespoke Design for Safer, Faster, Low‑Stress Sheep Management

Efficient sheep handling starts with a well‑designed system. At Farming Solutions Ltd, we create bespoke sheep handling systems that improve safety, speed up routine tasks and support low‑stress movement for flocks of all sizes. Designed by farmers and engineers, our layouts are built around real‑world experience, practical workflows and the unique requirements of UK sheep farms.

Whether you’re upgrading an existing setup or planning a completely new yard, we turn your ideas into a fully engineered, farm‑ready system that works seamlessly with your space, your flock and your handling style.

Custom Sheep Handling System Design for UK Farms

Every farm is different — different breeds, different terrain, different labour levels. That’s why we don’t offer generic layouts. Instead, we design systems tailored to your:

• Available yard space
• Breed type and flock size
• Handling frequency
• Existing equipment
• Labour availability
• Safety and welfare priorities
• Future expansion plans

Simply send us a sketch, and we’ll turn it into a complete, scaled sheep handling system designed for efficiency, safety and long‑term durability.

What We Can Design Into Your Sheep Handling System

Our bespoke layouts can include:

• Forcing pens and gathering pens
• Races and alleyways
• Drafting and sorting areas
• Weighing and EID integration
• Shedding gates and auto drafters
• Foot‑bathing and dosing zones
• Loading ramps
• Lamb handling areas
• Safe access points for handlers
• Flow‑optimised movement routes

Every element is designed to reduce stress, improve throughput and make routine jobs faster and safer.

Designed by Farmers & Engineers

Our systems are created by people who understand sheep behaviour, flock flow and the realities of working livestock. This combination of hands‑on farming experience and engineering expertise ensures your system is:

• Practical and easy to operate
• Safe for both handlers and sheep
• Built for long‑term use
• Designed to reduce labour
• Suitable for UK farming conditions
• Optimised for calm, natural movement

We design systems that genuinely work — not just on paper, but in the yard.

Weighing & EID Integration

Modern flock management relies on accurate data. Weigh crates, load bars, digital indicators, and EID readers, including EID Stick Readers and EID Tag Readers, integrate seamlessly with handling systems to support performance monitoring, compliance, and informed decision‑making.

Why Invest in a Professionally Designed Sheep Handling System?

A well‑designed system delivers long‑term benefits across your entire operation:

• Faster flock flow for weighing, dosing, foot care and sorting
• Reduced labour requirements
• Improved handler safety
• Lower stress for sheep
• Better welfare outcomes
• More efficient routine management
• Future‑proofed infrastructure

Good design pays for itself in time saved, injuries avoided and smoother day‑to‑day handling.
