Description
In Sheepyard and Shearing Shed Design Fiona Conroy and Peter Hanrahan provide all the information you will need to build efficient yards and sheds.
The book contains comprehensive information on planning, building and modifying yards and sheds so that sheep flow through with a minimum of fuss and stress, reducing the labour of workers and dogs.
But it is not always a case of out with the old and in with the new. Often old sheds can be redesigned to work more efficiently and even take on a new lease of life outside the shearing season. Where appropriate, the advantages and disadvantages of various systems are highlighted.
All suggestions are offered with an eye open to costs, so there are ideas for those with the time and the know-how to produce items in the farm workshop as well as an idea of what is available commercially.
