After chasing cattle around a 70 acre unfenced farm for a customer, Michael Midgley decided there had to be a safer, faster and better way. This combined feeder trailer and containment pen system was the result. With a protected walkway down the middle of the feeder, entry gates in the two strong pens to close once the cattle are in, height adjustments to compensate for uneven ground and the ability to unfold and deploy in minutes, it tackled all the issues and it worked.
The first model, designed to be pulled by a 4WD, was developed in 2009 and won a Silver Award for innovation at the Lincolnshire Show. In 2010 a prototype for a larger tractor-drawn model was made and has since been almost continuously catching cattle by attracting them into the pen rather than farmers having to do all the running! Both are available for hire.
Finally, after making design adjustments to further improve the versatility and performance of the system, a full production model of this larger system is now available for sale.
Both are made in strong galvanised steel on a 9.4m chassis and feature a feeder section with protected central walkway, adjustable drawbar, rear access gate, 12 hurdles and 4 entry gates (to form 2 pens), 2 emergency exit gates, hydraulic raise/lower wheels and , LED road going lights. Choose from diagonal or self-locking yoke barrier styles. Adobe pdf images of the prototypes can be downloaded here
