Also wanted sheep race system or parts so I can put one together to suit my needs.....bits wanted include foot bath, weigh crate and a few sheet sided hurdles. Must be in working order and no daft prices!

Hi Val,
We have a turnover crate that I've never seen used. I don't really like it and am trying to get a Combi Clamp instead as they are easier again to use. Turnover crates can be pretty heavy!! I'll ask at the farm if it could be for sale. Bip is doing well, 3 out of 5 now done!  Good luck in the hunt for race equipment, farm sales may also be a good place to look.

Yes I know they are heavy...would love a combi clamp.....very expensive!!! Glad Bip is doing his job....he is a real sweetie and his wives are looking forward to his return. Would love to know the opinions on the crate you have!
