Cluan, Meander Valley – 70 Head Cattle Yard
At Willowdale Rural, we take pride in helping producers create safe, efficient livestock handling systems tailored to their needs. Our recent project in Cluan, located in Tasmania’s picturesque Meander Valley, is a great example of that commitment.

The client wanted a functional, long-lasting setup that would make cattle work safer, smoother, and more efficient. With that in mind, we designed a yard that blends strength with smart handling features – all built using 100% Australian steel and manufactured right here in Tasmania.
The system includes:
✓ 6-rail medium duty cattle panels
✓ Heavy-duty full vet crush – featuring a walk-through design, split side gates, positive locking headbail with auto-release, chin bar, and rump bar for full access, safe and calm restraint of livestock
✓ Level platform loading ramp – with a treated pine wooden floor to reduce noise and a full walkway and personal access gate to prioritise operator safety
✓ Concreted working area – delivering a clean, stable surface for safer footing and reduced wear and tear on both handlers and livestock

The layout is simple, effective, and built to suit the scale of the operation – with flexibility to grow if needed in future. Every element reflects our focus on animal welfare, handler safety, and long-term value which is driven by our extensive experience and passion for farming and livestock handling.
