Atlex Auto Sheep Management Handler / Autodrafter

This is not JUST an Autodrafter ... this is SO MUCH more.

One of the keys to maximising profitability is the timely application of routine animal health procedures and management operations with the need for minimal time and labour. Atlex Stockyard's innovative, newly improved Auto Sheep Management Handler is the perfect way for you to produce a prime product while increasing profitability and management efficiency!

The Atlex Auto Sheep Management Handler is a Fully Automatic One-man & One-dog Management, Weighing, Recording and Drafting Operation with the ability to mouth, drench, crutch, vaccinate, dag and more ... and there are no condemned carcase problems either!

The AT3 prevents "...any need for dragging, no holding and takes all the struggle out of sheep handling, which we don't need, especially at our age."

The Standard Atlex AT3 Auto Sheep Management Handler consists of:

• 3 way fully automatic draft with remote control manual override.
• 2000kg Ruddweigh weigh bars:
