    There's loads out there. I've the cormac ones and find them good. Find the drop pin way better as you can use them in fields etc and no fear they'll separate, inlike loop ones. Also the cormac is the lowest height pen on the market and I think the buffalo is the highest, so whatever suits yourself really. Personally I like low ones that I can easily throw the leg over, 100's of times each day in the lambing sheds.
