Pening Systems on a 742 plus costs please?

Hi folks

I hope all are well, just wondering if any loadmasters around can give me a ball park figure of how many live pigs or sheeps I can carry on a 747-200F give or take a ball park figure would be appreciated if average weight is 35kgs each, also were can one get a pening systems for such a flight and how much would one be charged for such a system, based on a 1000 mile sector.

I was recently told that on a IL76 you are able to carry up to 1000 Sheeps but I found that number to be somewhat high but then again I was assured of that figure, if thats the case can one assume that the 742 can carry in excess of 1400 sheeps give or take 15%, I know there was a post some months back about carrying pigs but I couldnt find it on the search function so appologies ahead of time, thanks and I hope you can help.

many safe landings
