The Prattley Manual Drafter enables up to 3-way drafting, its practical design keeps the operator out of sheep’s vision. While you are operating the drafter with one hand, the other hand is left free to monitor and check stock. Prattley’s innovative design allows Sliding Gates to move easily and quietly to ensure stock are not frightened and can run seamlessly through the drafter. This manual sheep drafter’s simple no-tool adjustment allows you to weigh any animal from the biggest ram to the smallest lamb without complication. The drafter is universal and can be changed from right-handed to left see instructions below.
This system comes with the EZI 7i TruTest indicator and the MP 600 load bars. The EZI 7i links can link to an EID reader and will show the average daily weight gain from the last session on the screen when recording with eid tags or manually entering tag numbers on the EZI 7i.

Efficiency
“It’s amazing the efficiency that you can get out of a unit if it is set-up right and utilises the right kit,”
“Obviously I’m a fan of Prattley but I also own a 20-year-old Prattley unit that has handled a million sheep during its lifetime, and is still fully operational.
Potterton also believes that farmers should adopt the approach of world-renowned animal behaviouralist, Temple Grandin, to appreciate the value of Prattley’s design.
