Sheep Handler

Handle Sheep Faster. Work Smarter. Save Your Back.

Make sheep handling quicker, easier and safer

Whether you’re drenching, vaccinating, mouthing or classing, the Perkinz DrenchMaster helps you get through more sheep with less effort. Designed by a farmer for real-world conditions, the DrenchMaster makes routine animal health jobs faster, safer and far less physically demanding.

Trusted by farmers across New Zealand and Australia and now available throughout Europe the DrenchMaster is built to save time, reduce labour and make sheep handling more enjoyable.

Why Farmers Are Choosing the DrenchMaster

Save Time

Every minute spent chasing, catching and repositioning sheep is time lost. The DrenchMaster keeps sheep flowing naturally through the race, allowing you to concentrate on the job rather than controlling the animal.

Typical throughputs include:

Drenching 600–800 sheep per hour
Vaccinating 1,000+ sheep or lambs per hour
Completing two or more jobs at the same time

More sheep handled. Less time spent in the yards.

Easier on Your Body

Anyone who’s spent a day working sheep knows how hard it can be on your back, knees and shoulders. The DrenchMaster is designed to reduce bending, lifting and unnecessary movement. Simply lean towards the sheep to clamp it securely, carry out the task, then lean back to release it. No wrestling sheep. No climbing races. No unnecessary strain. At the end of the day, you’ll still have plenty left in the tank.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

The DrenchMaster works with you, not against you.

There are:

No awkward flaps
No complicated levers
No difficult controls

Once you’ve used it for a few minutes, you’ll find yourself simply handling sheep rather than operating a machine. It’s a natural, efficient workflow that quickly becomes second nature.

Safer for You and Your Sheep

Good stock handling protects both the operator and the animal. The DrenchMaster securely holds sheep without bruising or causing unnecessary stress, while reducing the risk of injury from lifting or working in awkward positions.

It’s safer for:

Farmers
Staff
Contractors
Sheep and lambs

One Handler, Multiple Jobs

The DrenchMaster is designed to make almost every routine sheep handling task easier. Use it for:

Drenching
Vaccinating
Mouthing
Uddering
Classing
Back-lining
Capsuling
Ear tagging
Ear marking

Because sheep are already securely positioned, you can often complete two or more treatments at the same time, reducing the number of times animals need to be handled.

Quick to Set Up. Easy to Move

At just 115kg, the DrenchMaster is light enough for one person to move around the farm. Simply position it in the race and you’re ready to start. No complicated setup. No lengthy adjustments. Just get on with the job.

Simple Means Reliable

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. The DrenchMaster has been engineered with just one moving part, meaning there’s very little to wear out or maintain. No unnecessary complexity. No expensive servicing. Just dependable performance season after season.

Designed by a Farmer

The DrenchMaster was designed by a farmer who understood the frustrations of traditional sheep handling. Every part of the system has been developed around the way sheep naturally move, allowing the equipment to work with the sheep; not forcing sheep to fit the machine. It’s a simple difference that makes a big impact every day.

How the DrenchMaster Works

As sheep move through the race, simply lean towards them to gently clamp the animal in position. With both hands free, you can carry out your task quickly and safely. Lean back to release the sheep, and the next one naturally moves into position. A ratchet locking foot mechanism allows the clamp to stay closed when required, or you can disengage it for continuous free movement. The standard four-arm adjustable anti-backer keeps sheep flowing smoothly through the race, helping maintain an even workload.

Simple. Fast. Effective.

Choose the Right DrenchMaster for Your Farm

The DrenchMaster is available in several configurations to suit your operation.

Choose from:

Stationary units
Mobile units

Optional extras include:

3-Way Draft Gate
Air-Assist Operation

The optional Air-Assist System uses a pneumatic ram and magnetic hand switch on a 4-metre hose, allowing you to operate the clamp from further down the race. This creates a genuine one-person sheep handling system and makes processing large mobs even easier.
