Have a listen to Lisa as she guides us through how her family uses her cattle handling system and corral panel setup.

Farmer – MB (Easy Catch Chute)

The handling system fabulous! – it takes less time to do 200 head than it used to take for 40…

The squeeze chute is wonderful – everyone wants one now!

Vet & Rancher – AB (Portable Handling System)

We still have some building to do, but I processed cows through the other day and a couple of bulls that weren’t safe to do in our 60 year old wooden setup.

I am very happy. Especially like the rolling gates, the ability to vaccinate in the alley, and the headgate is fantastic.

Rancher – Tennessee (Easy Catch Chute)

We are really enjoying the squeeze chute – everything is wonderful – we have a lot of people through our operation and all have looked at it and are really impressed. Thank you for your outstanding customer service – we really appreciate that!

Matthew O – Staples, MN (Calf Catcher)

We have used it a lot this spring. Kids and I are protected from the mother and we have a lot of fun. We have around 80 cows and calves and this is a great piece of equipment to have that keeps us safe.

We are so pleased with our purchase of our portable handling system; it cuts our working time by at least half. We have recommended Lakeland products to several friends & neighbors.

Rancher – BC (Easy Catch Chute)

Even though I am from BC, the reason I bought a Lakeland squeeze was simply on the attention to customer service. Just talking to Kelvin and his calls back & forth – there is not another company in this industry that has half the level of customer service as you guys. He always gets back to me sooner than I even need him to…

Farmer – SK (Easy Catch Chute)

(Easy-Catch) is the greatest thing I ever bought! I am absolutely top of the world with it! So easy to use, I ran cattle all by myself and with rear control, it’s just slick. It works so much better than I ever imagined – I am stoked and a super happy customer!

Sheep & Goat Handling Testimonials

Analyn W – Splendora, TX (Deluxe Spin Trim Chute)

I just wanted to let you know that the SpinTrim is the best thing since sliced bread!! My goats are so calm and relaxed when we trim their hooves. My big buck that I sent you pictures of is a little too tall for it, but he willingly ducks under the bar to squeezes in. Then we put the sides up to where they just touches his sides since he is too tall for it. When we lay him on his side, he simply slides down comfortably in the contour of the side and he is so relaxed.

We did not use the shoot. We just walked them up to it and they stepped right in. The second time I wasn’t sure if they would be so willing. Again, we opened the door, asked them to “Please…step into my office” and happily walked right in!!

Before it was a major struggle to trim their hooves. They are so strong and it was always a fight. With the SpinTrim, it so easy and the goats are so relaxed and calm. I think they enjoy it.

Thank you

Jamie – MB (Easy Klamp)

Hear what Jamie from Manitoba has to say about the new Lakeland Easy Klamp and how it helps his sheep farm!

Allison C – Aiken, SC (Self Catch Headgate and Chute)

Just used the head gate today to get them vaccinated. Kids expected in about 8 weeks. It works great. Thanks for the follow up and such great customer service

Jayden – Fairview (Sheep Handling System)

We got everything that we ordered set up and have ran some sheep through the handling system to test it out. So far we are quite pleased with the quality of everything and ease of setup. As we expand our operation we will definitely look at expanding our equipment with more from Lakeland. Was a pleasure dealing with you and your team.

Robin D – Clearwater, MN (Sheep Handling/Feeding & Penning)

We have a 250-sheep farm operation. We used to have a Ketcham system, but it was too big and heavy, and it wasn’t moveable, which is why we set it up and took it down twice a year. My husband travels, and I have to wait for him to come home. It just holds up what I’m doing. With our new Lakeland sheep system, it’s lightweight, so it’s easy to set up and take down. We also have a ton of Lakeland’s Easy Aluminum Panels, and we use them for everything. Life is easier because of the weight. We also have portable lambing jugs. They’re 15 pounds, and I love them! They’re so easy to carry, and I use them for everything. Now, I can put up 20 jugs in an hour, where before I was putting up maybe 10 with the Ketcham. You avoid doing things when it’s heavy.

Eric Wichert – Kansas (Lakeland Crowding Tub for sheep and goat)

We stopped by Eric Wichert’s sheep farm in Kansas and asked him about his experience with the Lakeland Crowding Tub for sheep and goat.

Jacqueline Warren – Leduc, AB (Sheep and Goat Handling Equipment)

Have a listen to Jacqueline Warren and how her Lakeland equipment has made her sheep farm a breeze for her and her family.

Melissa S – Bozrah, CT (Feeders and Easy Panels)

I just wanted to let you and the company know how happy we are with your products. They are superior quality and so heavy (strong). I know that we will love using the panels and feeders for the sheep. Additionally everything did arrive in a timely manner and your driver was excellent. I will definatly recommend your company to others. When we build our new sheep facility we will be back to do more business.

Nicola VR – Clinton, BC (Slanted Bar Feeder Panels)

Yes, they are perfect. I set them up like a feed bunk. They were expensive, but so is hay… I figure they will eventually pay for themselves by having saved alot of waste…….I thought my tall athletic ewes might jump over the panels, but they don’t seem to.

Sheep Farmer – BC (Feeders, Alleys, Chute)

Thank you, I received my feeders yesterday and am very pleased with the quality, they are exactly what I needed! The courier called ahead and was excellent to deal with which is a first in my experience with couriers! so I’m super happy with the whole experience.

Thank you for the catalogue, I may order a creep panel, but I have to recover from recent expenses before I can do that.

You made my day more than valentines chocolates could have! I was like a kid at Christmas ripping off the packing LOL

That chute is my prize possession. I recommend it to anyone who will slow down long enough to listen.

My farm partner has been looking at one of your alleys to attach to the chute. He would be applying to the same state program I used to buy the chute.

I wish I had it 30 years ago – I never thought – it’s one of the best things ever built! What I like too is that you people are so interested in helping me – I want to tell you how great you guys are. You can ask my son & my neighbour and they’ll say the same. Send me some flyers & business cards & I’ll get you some business around here.

Another Sheep Farmer (Working Chute and Crowding Tub)

We used our recently purchased sheep tub/chute/catcher combo yesterday and handled 130 sheep and lambs in a couple of hours; it was fantastic. My wife said, ‘Best farming day ever!’

I’m posting some pictures, a review and props for your company on a preparedness website in the “Sheep farming thread” so hopefully it will drive some business your way. I’ll send you the link when I post it.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our purchase…

Loren Nikkel – Kansas (Lakeland Crowding Tub)

Brooke C – Colorado (Heavy Duty Spindle Penning Panel)

We caught up with Brooke Carlson, an Agriculture student who runs her own goat farm for 4H and FFA. She told us all about how she uses her Lakeland Pens. Have a listen and see what you think!

Victoria – Gimli (Sheep and Goat Handling Equipment)

There are only so many hours in the day, and without the right farm equipment, you can be out there all day trying to get the job done. That’s why we believe that every sheep or goat farm needs these premium sheep and goat products that’ll add versatility and efficiency to your operation.

But don’t take it from us. Have a listen to what Victoria from Whiskey Road Farms has to say about her Lakeland Sheep and Goat Handling Equipment. She hits on the all the major features of our farm-favorite system and how it’s helped her growing goat farm.

Vancouver Island (Deluxe Spin Trim Chute)

Wanted to let you know that I am thrilled with the pivot table for sheep that I purchased from your company. It is easy to operate and easy to move.

It is extremely well thought out from its folding entrance door to its head gate at the exit. I easily fits up against my current handing chute. All the moving parts move easily and smoothly and it so easy to tilt the sheep. Its also nice that they can be stilted on their side on all way over. I was able to worm, trim feed and ear tag all in one sessions. Thanks for much for making a difficult job easy and less stressful for my ewes!

I don’t know how I ever got along with out one.

Sharon S – NC (Collapsible Sheep Feeders)

We are using them for our goats, so far seem to be working well, hay loss has improved significantly. We have 11 goats using this one feeder, not counting the kids, our miniature horse uses it also. 2nd one is with 7 bucks, saving a lot of hay now that they can’t climb on it.

Clarence B – KY (DST)

I’m a veteran of a few tours, and I haven’t seen utter devastation like the tornado outbreak that struck western Kentucky on December 10, 2021. We lost everything: our house, our vehicles, four barns. We even lost three out of 75 goats, as we all took shelter in the canning room of our basement that was collapsing in on us. It was only able to withstand the crumbling roof because of the metal shelves that held it together. After the chaos, one of the only things left standing was our Deluxe Spin Trim Chute. It was untouched, and still works as expected. We’re excited to get our barn done and put our goat farm back together.

Phillip Grimshaw, Grimshaw Farms – Ware Shoals, SC (Working Chute and Crowding Tub)

A few years ago I bought this system while my flock was still small with the anticipation that it would help me grow my business, improve animal health, and reduce the strain of handling animals. Fast forward to today and this system has helped me achieve just that. Now, at over 100 ewes I feel confident in moving closing to my end goal of 500 ewes. The Lakeland system is built with high quality materials and I look forward to using it for many years to come.Of the many features I enjoy, my favorite is using the guillotine gate paired with the 3 way sorter to get rams and ewes separated during weaning.

Of course, I can’t forget to mention the convenience of the using the integrated weigh crate to get weights of lambs before worming. Adding the spin-trim chute to the whole system has also allowed me to not only sort my flightiest and wildest ewes but also to restrain them for hoof trimming, vaccinating, or marking.

Perhaps the single great reason any sheep farmer should own a system like this is the ability to gather your sheep, sort them, and assess and treat any health issues. This has by far helped me lower lamb and yearling mortality by doing regular FAMACHA exams, and getting them into a place for efficient worming and medicating as a group.

Alexis P – Holley, NY (SG200)

We were finally able to get the sheep handling system set up today and ran everyone through! It made the job so much easier. Horse stalls will also be going up this week. I attached some pictures of the sheep handling system and will email again when I get the stalls done. Thank you again and happy new year!
