Deluxe Pin-In Grafting Gate Panel for Lambing & Kidding Pens for Sheep & Goats | Sydell #0653-3

Sydell 0653-3 Deluxe Pin-In Grafting Gate Panel for Sheep & Goats
Designed to replace the standard #0653-1 front panel in Sydell Deluxe Lambing & Kidding Pens.

When a ewe or doe refuses her lamb or kid, immediate support is critical. Without intervention, newborns may miss essential colostrum and nutrition needed to survive and grow. The Sydell 0653-3 Grafting Gate Panel converts your Deluxe Lambing or Kidding Pen into a controlled grafting setup—safely restraining the mother while allowing lambs and kids consistent, protected access to nurse.

This panel replaces the standard #0653-1 front panel and installs easily using Sydell’s pin-in system. It securely holds the ewe or doe in place while still allowing her to stand or lie down comfortably. With access to feed and water, the mother remains calm and cared for throughout the process. At the same time, lambs and kids can safely reach the udder without risk of being pushed away, stepped on, or injured.

By allowing repeated, controlled nursing, the grafting process becomes more natural and successful—often eliminating the need for labor-intensive bottle feeding.

What Is a Grafting Panel?
A grafting panel is a specialized front panel used during lambing and kidding to temporarily restrain a ewe or doe so a lamb or kid can nurse safely and consistently. It is commonly used when a mother rejects her offspring or when fostering an orphan onto another animal.

Why Use the 0653-3 Grafting Panel?
This panel is essential when:
• A ewe or doe refuses her lamb or kid
• Multiple births leave one offspring without adequate nursing access
• A lamb or kid is weak and needs consistent, safe feeding
• You are grafting an orphan onto another ewe or doe

Instead of relying on bottle feeding—which requires added labor, cost, and time—this panel helps transition lambs and kids onto a natural nursing program, improving health outcomes and saving valuable time.

How It Works:
Install the 0653-3 panel in place of the standard #0653-1 front panel on your Deluxe Lambing or Kidding Pen. Place the ewe or doe inside and provide access to feed and water. The panel gently limits movement while allowing the lamb or kid to nurse regularly. Over time, repeated nursing and scent familiarity help promote maternal acceptance.
