Efficient and accurate sheep drafting is crucial for managing your flock. The Gallagher TW3, when paired with a Shepherdsmate handling unit, offers a streamlined solution for drafting sheep by weight, saving you time and improving your flock management.
Precision Drafting for Optimal Management
This innovative system allows you to automatically sort sheep into different weight groups, ensuring that each animal receives the appropriate care and attention. Whether you’re preparing lambs for market or managing different stages of growth, the Gallagher Weigher and Shepherdsmate make the process simple and efficient.
How it Works: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Drafting Function Access: Begin by accessing the drafting function on the TW3 head unit.
