Sheep Race

Friend of mine has a cormac race. Only thing I didn’t like was the front setup. You’ve a guillotine gate, that you’ve to open up and the two way drafter infront. However no way of stopping sheep running out if you make a mistake, or want to slow them down, other then fumbling to close the guillotine again. I think the front drafting gate on the ritchie or stanley is better, as you can lock it in the middle as their running out. Both would only be the same price as cormac.

I looked at them all at the ploughing too. Putting in a tams application . I though o Donnell was very good but very expensive.
Stanley was a bit awkward .
Foxes was ok too.
Thought cormac was best overall for price .

Pity you can’t get the curved sheets and forcing gate on the mobile one.it has to be for a permanent yard for tams

How much are the different options?

I have the brochures with price in the Jeep. I’ll get it in the morning and post them

If your standing at the top of race some sheep won’t run out, because your standing there. So the idea of the long handle to operate the race without sheep getting spooked.

Might be worth your while looking at a ritchie race as well. I bought one of their walk through gates recently. Imo, the quality of it was far better then the quality on any cormac products that I own. If their races were made to the same standard, that’s what I’d buy.
