Kiwi sheep handler wins Aussie accolades

Written by 

WAYNE PERKINS and Nick Wansink travelled recently to Australia to display the Perkinz range of sheep-handling equipment at the Sheepvention field days held yearly in Hamilton, Victoria. Their products received four awards.

“We popped across the Tasman primarily to show off our crutching trailer, received well in the Australian market especially with its adjustable roof,” said Perkins. “And we entered our new model drenching race and recycled plastic sheep panels in the inventions category.”

DrenchMaster won three awards including best overseas exhibitor, and the sheep panels won first prize in the yards and gates section.

The DrenchMaster is a 3m long race with a swinging side panel that allows fast and efficient handling of sheep and lambs when vaccinating, drenching, etc.

The sheep panels are made from 100% recycled plastic, making them strong yet light and are great as a lead up race to sheep-handlers, lambing pens, etc.

Perkinz products are made in Dunedin by E. B. McDonald Ltd. They are sold in Australia, Canada and the UK.
