The Smart Start with the C1000 Cattle Handling System

When it comes to handling cattle, efficiency, safety, and animal well-being are the top priorities. The C1000 Cattle Handling System by Lakeland was built with those needs in mind, offering ranchers and farm owners a compact yet complete solution that doesn’t compromise on performance. Designed as a starter system, the C1000 combines durability, smart design, and ease of use to streamline cattle work for smaller to mid-sized operations.

At the heart of this cattle handling system is a combination of three key components: a reliable squeeze chute, an 8.5ft cornerless crowding tub, and a 17ft adjustable alley. This layout gives ranchers everything they need to process cattle quickly, safely, and with less stress. The cornerless tub ensures animals keep moving forward without hesitation, while the adjustable alley adapts to calves, cows, and larger livestock.

Low-stress handling is one of the defining features of the C1000. The tub is fully sheeted and cornerless, eliminating distractions that often cause cattle to balk or turn. This keeps animals calmer, reducing the risk of stress-related injuries or weight loss. For ranchers focused on productivity and animal well-being, this is a major advantage over older, traditional setups.

Durability is another standout. The C1000 is constructed from heavy-duty powder-coated steel with a 4x4 bottom frame, giving it the strength to withstand daily ranch use. Built to last season after season, it’s a long-term investment that pays off with consistent performance and reduced replacement costs.

One of the C1000’s biggest appeals is its compact, space-efficient design. It’s ideal for smaller operations, entry-level ranchers, or farms that don’t need an oversized system. Yet, it’s still modular—meaning ranchers can expand with additional corral panels or gates as their herd grows. This flexibility ensures the system remains relevant and valuable over time.

Handler safety is also front and centre. Slam latches, rolling doors, and drop-down access panels provide safe working zones, protecting both ranchers and livestock. The design allows one or two people to manage the entire system, cutting down labour requirements while still ensuring smooth operation.

Whether you’re processing cattle for vaccinations, sorting pairs, doctoring calves, or preparing for loadouts, the C1000 makes the job faster, safer, and more efficient. It’s the perfect combination of professional-grade engineering and practical usability, designed to meet the everyday needs of hardworking ranchers.

In short, the Lakeland C1000 Cattle Handling System is more than just equipment—it’s a dependable partner that saves time, reduces stress, and improves overall herd management.
