Apparatus for drafting livestock e.g. from a single race through a set of gates into a plurality of separate drafting groups in which a drafting controller (126) is arranged to receive e.g. wirelessly data from an electronic identification reader (122), to select automatically the drafting group for the animal, e.g. based on querying a database (132) or looking up information in a table. The drafting controller is communicable with a audio output device, e.g. voice chip (144) and speaker (146), that is arranged to output an audible signal which is indicative of the selected drafting group on the basis of instructions from the drafting controller. Automated identification of the drafting group for an animal means the attention of the operator of the set of gates is not distracted away from the animals.
