To the front the unique one-hand operated three-way drafting gate with integrated stop gate is standard in each handler to sort sheep to left or right or straight through the footbath. There is a pull rope on the handler to operate the opening and closing of the guillotine gate which helps control the length of time the sheep stay in the footbath.

The UV protected side panels are easy to clean, a convenient foot pedal controls the back gate, which in turn controls the sheep as they enter the Shepherdsmate sheep handler.
