Cattle & Sheep Yard Systems
Livestock Handling Systems Designed to Improve Flow, Safety and Efficiency.
Designed around stock flow, operator and stock safety and the way your property runs by reducing pressure, improving movement and making handling easier.
Every property works differently. Stock numbers, terrain, access and handling methods all influence how a yard should be laid out.
When layout is right, stock move more naturally, drafting becomes easier and jobs get done with less pressure on both livestock and handlers.
When Yards Aren't Working Properly
- Livestock baulk, back up or refuse to flow
- Pressure builds in forcing areas
- Jobs take longer than they should
- Handlers work in unsafe positions
- Layout no longer suits your stock numbers

Cattle Yards
Designed to handle pressure and maintain steady movement from holding areas through to race and crush.
When layout is right, cattle flow more consistently, drafting becomes easier and handling is safer and more efficient.
Sheep Yards
Designed for clear, controlled movement through races and drafting areas.
Correct layout reduces pressure points, improves flow and allows for smoother day to day handling.
Semi-Permanent Yard Systems
Flexible systems that can be adjusted or expanded over time. Suitable where layouts may change or where staged development is preferred.
Permanent Yard Systems
Built for long term use with a fixed layout designed around your property. Ideal for high use operations where efficiency and durability are critical.
