100 Head Cattle Yard

December 2025

The brief:

Working closely with our client we designed this cattle yard to sit next to an existing roadway and to optimize animal flow.

The 100-head cattle capacity is divided into 3 pens for easy handling. 

A vee shaped forcing pen funnels the animals into the drenching race where they can be easily accessed from the catwalk.

Weighing is done in the crush and the 3 way drafting unit leads to our heavy duty loading ramp featuring a catwalk.

Timeframe:

5 weeks from confirmation of order to completion.

20 Head Cattle Yard

January 2025

The brief:

Install a yard to comfortably manage around 20 head, with a crush and head bail for safe handling, plus the ability to load stock straight from the property.

The client chose the LSP-20 Lifestyle Yard with our Multihandler crush – the perfect balance of features without going overboard.

With solid fencing, reliable gates, and a smart layout, moving cattle in and out is now easy, safe, and stress-free."
