USING THE SHEEP AUTO DRAFTER
The Sheep Auto Drafter can be run in two different modes: Automatic Release
Mode or Manual Release Mode. The one you select will depend on whether you
want it to run independently or not. In either case if there are no animals in the
unit the Sheep Auto Drafter will automatically allow animals in. However, if it is
in Manual Release Mode you will be in control of when they are released and the
direction the sorting unit will release them in, whereas in Automatic Release
Mode the settings you enter into the scale indicator will determine how the unit
and sorting unit will operate.
