Quick-attach unroller

Do you ever struggle to mount something to the rack of your four-wheeler using U-bolts? Wouldn’t you like to be able to pop on a barbwire unroller only when you need it, then pop it off again when you get back to the shop? Flight Zone Gear, LLC, has a patent pending on a sliding latch mechanism that does just that. This barbwire unroller latches onto any steel rack four-wheeler in a few seconds.

Beef Master™ buildings

Protect your feed bunks and limit weather extremes with ClearSpan™ Beef Master™ Systems. The durable open-aired structures are manufactured from USA-made, triple-galvanized structural steel tubing. A white rip-stop polyethylene fabric cover that carries a 15-year warranty allows natural light, while the 4-ft. exterior overhang allows more space per head and keeps feed dry. One side of the building features a 5-ft.-high white poly curtain, while optional ridge vents provide maximum air ventilation. The buildings are available in any length and 36-, 45-, 55- and 65-ft. widths.

Feedlot manure control

In an effort to help feedlot managers better adhere to state and federal regulations, Nankervis Enterprises announces the NVD™ System for feedlot manure control. Designed to deposit sludge and manure in conveyance channels before it reaches the ponds, the NVD™ system reduces the frequency and related costs of pond dredging and decreases the nutrient concentration in ponds. It also captures a significant amount of manure before it reaches the lagoon. The NVD™ system is made from durable composites and can be custom fit to most feedlot drainage channels.
