                      How should I maintain my Sydell equipment?
                    
                  Routine maintenance on your Sydell equipment will keep it in top condition. We recommend the following:
- Washing panels and feeders regularly to remove buildup
 - Storing indoors or under cover when not in use
 - Oiling hinges, wheels, and moving parts annually
 - Touching up painted surfaces to prevent rust
 
                    
                    
                      Can galvanized products rust?
                    
                  Galvanized products are designed to resist rust even in harsh weather. However, exposure to fertilizer, moisture, or animal waste over long periods may cause surface oxidation. Regular cleaning and dry storage will extend the life of your galvanized equipment.
                    
                    
                      Are Sydell products suitable for goats as well as sheep?
                    
                  Yes. All Sydell systems are engineered for both sheep and goats, including horned and non-horned breeds. Adjustable features and proper spacing prevent injury and improve handling for various stock sizes. Many goat dairies and show breeders rely on our stanchions, pens, and feeders.
