    HANDLING YOUR LIVESTOCK IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A NECESSITY IN THIS ENVIRONMENT OF REGULATION AND CAN BE A LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE WITH THE EQUIPMENT TO GET TOGETHER, STOCK TO GATHER, EXTRA HELP TO FIND AND THE VET TO CO-ORDINATE.

    By hiring ANDREW MEAR LIVESTOCK SERVICES for one reasonable price you get the full handling system set up on your farm plus myself, an experienced operator and stockman, to assist you with the whole operation. I save you the hassle of trying to find experienced help and you can get the job done on time and at your convenience.

    Over 835 people have been injured since January 2000 whilst handling cattle on farms and this system has been designed with the safety of the cattle and of their handlers as a priority. Animals are first held in the high-sided corral (made of 5’6” chained hurdles) and then the race system (designed using the Temple Grandin principles) guides them quietly and with minimum need for driving into the high quality Pearson Squeeze Crush. This equipment can deal with all sizes and kinds of cattle from Longhorns to small calves. Stressed or struggling animals can be calmed quickly by applying the squeeze mechanism and held securely throughout their treatment.

    From arrival on site the system can be set up and ready for cattle in only 30 minutes. It is totally portable, towed behind my pick-up and can be sited anywhere be it yard, barn or field. Packing up or moving between different sites is similarly as quick so moving between farms and different sites is easily achievable.

    This is a unique service using top quality, purpose-built equipment and is extremely efficient and cost effective. By hiring my service you can make significant financial savings. You are not responsible for the upkeep or maintenance of the equipment, you are only paying for the service when you need to use it and you get an experienced animal handler and system operator to help you too, all included in one price.

    There are significant savings to be made by using my service for all your cattle handling operations thoughout the year. I will be pleased to discuss your individual requirements, call me on 07588 108716.
