Sheep & Goat Working System E | Sydell #0987

I’m using 0938 exactly as you listed it in the official System E component list. I’m treating that as the Spin Doctor included with System E and keeping all other item numbers exactly as you supplied them.

Sydell System E Sheep & Goat Corral and Working System – Item 0987

The Sydell System E Corral and Working System (Item 0987) is a complete sheep and goat handling system built around the Sydell Spin Doctor. Designed for producers who want an organized setup for crowding, moving, restraining, examining, treating, and working livestock, System E combines a curved crowding tub, solid working alley, gates, anti-backup, and the Spin Doctor into one compact handling system.

With an approximate footprint of 20 ft 1 in L x 9 ft 4 in W and an approximate weight of 975 lb, System E provides extensive livestock handling capability without requiring a large corral footprint.

Designed for Efficient Sheep & Goat Handling

The curved crowding tub uses solid 42 in high panels to help guide sheep and goats into the 8 ft solid working alley while limiting outside distractions.

The 0985 Guillotine Gate helps control livestock entry into the working area, while the 0965 Flat Anti-Backup Plate helps discourage animals from backing through the alley. Livestock can then move directly into the 0938 Spin Doctor, providing producers with a dedicated area for controlled restraint and animal care.

System E is designed for everyday sheep and goat management, including hoof trimming, hoof inspection, health checks, vaccinations, identification, breeding management, treatment, examination, and routine livestock handling.

0938 Spin Doctor

The Sydell 0938 Spin Doctor is the centerpiece of System E and is designed to provide controlled restraint while giving handlers better access to sheep and goats for routine management and care.

The Spin Doctor allows the animal to be positioned for improved access during procedures such as hoof trimming, health checks, treatment, vaccinations, identification, and general livestock care.

Its design provides access to different areas of the animal while helping reduce the amount of manual restraint required from the handler.

• Up to 120 degrees of rotation
• Designed for one-hand operation
• Side doors for convenient animal access
• False floor for improved hoof access
