Tal-Tec’s circular force pens: Turn farming into a breeze

Tal-Tec’s Circular Force Pen designs are simple to understand, user friendly and easy to move.

Any task becomes pleasant and hassle-free when you use the right equipment. Livestock farming can be a very tough and demotivating career when the animals are stubborn and wild. It is therefore even more important to use the right equipment for every job. That is why Tal-Tec is there to help farmers with the best equipment, to get the job done in no time. The Cattle Circular Force Pen and the Sheep Circular Force Pen are both top sellers and have made many a farmer’s life easier. With this equipment and many more available at Tal-Tec, farmers need minimum labour when working with their livestock. The Tal-Tec Circular Force Pens help the farmer to channel livestock through a crush, ensuring an easy handling experience. This unit can be disassembled and moved to another farm, as it is only the centre pole that needs to be planted into the ground. The rest of the components are bolted together to form the perfect handling facility that is strong and durable. The animals are simply driven into the circle part of the unit, and once it is full, you push the gate forward to force them into the crush section. A brake mounted on the forcing gate prevents the animals from reversing and pushing the gate backwards. Once all the animals are in the crush section, the gate can be opened again to let the next batch of animals in.

Cattle Circular Force Pen

The Tal-Tec Cattle Circular Force Pen is eight metres in diameter and the circle section can handle up to 30 head of cattle at a time. The Circular Force Pen has four rounded segments made out of round tube to form a half-moon. The forcing gate can swing 360 degrees, which will allow you to push the gate forward instead of backwards to insert in the next batch of animals.

Sheep Circular Force Pen

The Sheep Circular Force Pen has a diameter of 6,2 metres and can handle up to 50 sheep at a time. The solid gates prevent the sheep from being distracted or intimidated by their surroundings. This allows them to simply follow the sheep in front of them. The forcing gate gets pulled back to open the circle section for the next batch of sheep to be let in. Since your herd will grow larger or your needs will change, Tal-Tec’s modular design will always allow you to add equipment, components, or sections to your existing layout, like a scale, loading ramp, spray-race or clamp. All these items are moveable and easy to assemble.
