Rawhide Portable Corral unveils a portable and foldable windbreak on wheels
For more than 22 years, Rawhide Portable Corral, Abilene, Kansas, has been leading the portable corral market with its innovative design and ability to adapt the corral based off customer needs.
One such need throughout the years was that of a windbreak. With the same design in mind as the Rawhide Portable Corral, John McDonald has developed a patent-pending portable, foldable windbreak on wheels.
“The portable windbreak will include a hydraulically raised loafing shed roof on both sides of the main frame and will utilize the same patented torsion axle suspension that we recently added to our portable corrals,” said McDonald, owner and Inventor of Rawhide Portable Corral.
The portable windbreak is designed so that it may also be used with the portable corral. The Rawhide Portable Corral flexible pinning system can be used to pin them together if necessary. The options on the windbreak also include small calving pens on each side of the main frame and a head gate.
“We expect this to be another revolutionary product for the livestock industry, similar to when we first developed the Rawhide Portable Corral,” McDonald said.
This design has been something that McDonald and his team have been working on for quite some time. Designs were tested and used in the Kansas wind throughout the research and development process.
“Our goal was to get it exactly like we wanted it before introducing it to the industry,” McDonald said. “We have shared it with a few of our dealers early on, and they are very excited about it and the potential impact it will have on the industry.”
Videos of the system may be found on the company’s social media channels and website. The full rollout of information on the system will continue to take place throughout the summer.
