How does a cattle auto-sorter work?

The Taurus Auto Sorting Cattle Chute uses advanced sensors and integrated components, including a weigh scale, load bars and EID reader to automate the cattle handling process.

1

Staggering The Flow

The operator opens the split race gate using the wireless remote control and lets an animal into the holding area.

2

Entering The Chute

The Taurus Chute will detect the animal and automatically open the entry gate. The entry gate will close once the animal is safely inside and the weigh cycle will begin.

3

Weigh Cycle

The Taurus Chute will automatically read an animal's EID tag and record data on the animal, including its weight and any treatments administered.

4

Exit & Reset

Based on the criteria set up by the operator, the Taurus Chute will automatically open the correct sorting gate and release the animal. The gates will reset when the animal leaves the chute and the cycle will start again.

Customised to fit your needs.

The Taurus Auto Sorting Cattle Chute is available in 3 different options, allowing you to maximise your cattle handling space or existing facilities.

Out-Of-Chute Sorter

This configuration uses the side gates of the Cattle Chute as the sorting gates. Pneumatic rams open and close the side gates automatically. This suits situations that have limited length. The corral design for this set-up needs to consider operator safety as the cattle could exit into the working area.

Chute with 3-Way Sort Module

This configuration is called ‘in-line sorting’. The cattle leave the chute and exit through sorting gates in front which automatically open and close. This configuration is very safe and efficient to use and it provides the fastest sequence time.

Chute with 5-Way Sort Module

For bigger operations needing to sort more than 3 ways, the chute can be configured with a 5-way sorting module.

Pneumatic  or Hydraulic?

The powered functions on the Taurus Auto Sorter give the operator full control over the entry gate, parallel squeeze, headbail and sorting gates. The hydraulic chute also features powered vet doors and a head scoop. But which option is right for you?

Pneumatic Powered

As standard, the Taurus Auto Sorter uses pneumatic power (compressed air) to operate the various powered components. Pneumatics are more affordable than hydraulics, but produce more noise when operating.

Automatic Headbail Catch

A World First; The Taurus Automatic Headbail catch is available only on hydraulic models and allows operators to automatically catch animals in the headbail. 

When processing, the animal is automatically held and presented straight to the vet. Using the front controls, a vet can then treat the animal and release them without having to step back to the main control dashboard. This reduces the number of people and time required to process cattle, therefore saving you money and also helping keep the animals calm. 

Easy-to-use  controls.

With separate controls at the front and rear of the cattle chute and the convenient wireless remote, the Taurus Cattle Chute puts you in total control.

Why buy a Taurus Auto Sorting Cattle Chute?

The Taurus Cattle Chute is an all-in-one solution and can integrate into an existing yard system with minimal effort.

Reduce Labor And Improve Operator Safety

The Taurus Cattle Chute improves operator efficiency by automating much of the livestock handling process. By automating the weighing and sorting of your cattle, you reduce the amount of labor required and minimise the operator's contact with livestock, reducing the risk of injury.

Automate Livestock Weighing And Sorting

The Taurus Cattle Chute can automatically sort your livestock with minimal operator intervention. It offers the option to sort animals from the sides of the chute or the 3 or 5-way sorting gates. Using either the Te Pari Macrotock, Gallagher TW or Tru-Test 5000 Series scales, the operator can quickly sort animals based on various criteria such as weight, sex, breed and more.

Automate Data Collection

To truly understand the well-being and profitability of your livestock, it is crucial to have precise animal tracking and data collection. The Taurus Cattle Chute provides an all-in-one solution to automatically scan an animal's EID tag and record essential data such as weight or treatments given. This data is available in the MacroStock web applications, our all-in-one data analysis tool.
