A Smarter Goat & Sheep Crowding Chute for Safer, Faster Handling

Handling livestock can be one of the most stressful and time-consuming parts of farm management. A poorly designed setup wastes time, stresses animals, and increases the risk of injury. The Lakeland Working Chute and Crowding Tub is designed to change that. Built specifically for sheep and goats, this goat & sheep working chute combines a curved 5-ft radius tub, a 16-ft alley, and modular controls that streamline movement while keeping your animals calm.

At its core, this chute-and-tub system is about efficiency and safety. The crowding chute features smooth, rounded walls that guide animals naturally forward, preventing the hesitation and pile-ups common in straight or sharp-angled setups. The 16-ft alley, divided into two 8-ft sections, is equipped with flow-controlling gates like a guillotine drop gate and an anti-backup gate. This ensures animals only move in the direction you choose—forward. The result? Faster, more predictable handling that keeps animals on task and reduces handler stress.

The goat & sheep working chute is modular by design. Each section is interchangeable, allowing you to expand, reconfigure, or insert gates wherever you need them. Whether you’re handling 20 head or 200, the chute can grow with your operation. Adjustable side panels further improve versatility: 40″ sides drop to 32″ for lambs, making it suitable for mixed flocks without the risk of animals tipping out or struggling inside the chute.

Durability is another key strength. With a frame built from 1″ × 1″ steel tubing and sheet sides reinforced with thick poly panels, this chute is built to withstand the constant pressure of daily use. It’s designed to last through years of vaccinations, health checks, loading tasks, and routine treatments without requiring constant repairs or replacement.

For ranchers and farmers, the benefits are immediate and long-lasting. Tasks like vaccinations, sorting, or loading become quicker and less stressful, freeing up valuable labor hours. Animals remain calmer, which improves both safety and productivity. And because the system is modular, it represents a long-term investment—adaptable to herd growth and facility changes without the need for complete system overhauls.

In short, the Working Chute and Crowding Tub is not just a piece of equipment; it’s a long-term partner in better herd management. Whether you’re raising a small flock of sheep or managing a larger goat operation, this chute gives you safer handling, less stress, and more efficiency every single day.
