How does the ProWay Bulk Handler work, sheep are ushered into the race section of the handler in groups of 20-30 at a time, depending on their size and wool. The grated floor is then lifted hydraulically, with sheep being brought to waist height of the operator. The sheep are suspended on their underside. Sheep become very passive as they are caught as a group, in a natural position. Similar to shearing, if sheep are held properly they become submissive.

ProWay has created thousands of unique sheep handling facilities that factor in seemingly small details such as gate placement, yard access, angles in yards, yard orientation and the compression ratio or relative size of yards as well as loading and unloading to maximise stock flow, animal welfare and ultimately the profitability of your facility. To achieve this, ProWay’s approach to sheep yards considers several key factors: operation type, working/holding capacity, loading infrastructure, labour efficiency, frequency of use, a mix of your enterprise, incorporating existing infrastructure, services and site specifications.
