Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the minimum space needed to set up a small cattle yard?

    A basic yard setup for small herds can fit in a space of about 20 x 20 metres, depending on the number of cattle and the yard’s intended use. A simple configuration might include a holding yard, forcing yard, race, crush, and drafting area. Even with limited space, thoughtful planning is key - curved races, well-positioned gates and efficient flow can make a compact yard safer and more effective. If you’re tight on room, modular or portable panels can help build something functional without a huge footprint.

  • Is it cheaper to build a yard from scratch or upgrade in stages?

    Upgrading in stages can seem more manageable cost-wise, but it often ends up being more expensive in the long run. Each new piece might require retrofitting, which can lead to wasted time, mismatched components or compromised flow. Building from scratch allows for a unified layout that’s designed with your needs in mind - especially if stock numbers or handling goals are likely to change. However, if budget is tight, starting with a basic plan and adding compatible modules gradually can still work, provided there's a clear end goal in sight.

  • How do you plan a yard layout to avoid backflow and reduce stress on stock?

    Good yard design keeps livestock moving forward without hesitation or confusion. Curved races help prevent animals from seeing the end and encourage movement, while solid-sided panels block external distractions. Gates should be positioned so handlers can shift stock efficiently without walking through mobs or doubling back. Avoid dead ends or tight corners - these are stress triggers and common spots for injury. A layout that mirrors natural stock behaviour (e.g., flight zones, group flow) makes the job easier for both the animals and the people handling them.
