Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between cattle rail and standard pipe in yard panels?

    Cattle rail is designed with a flattened profile - usually 115 x 42mm - which offers a broader surface and reduced risk of bruising compared to standard round pipe. This shape also spreads impact forces more evenly when livestock press or lunge against the panel. Standard pipe, while often cheaper, can bend more easily and has smaller surface contact, making it less forgiving for high-pressure yard work. For high-traffic areas or yards handling large cattle, cattle rail is often considered the safer, longer-lasting choice.

  • What feeder styles encourage more even intake across a herd or flock?

    Feeders with side access points or multiple entry spaces allow more animals to feed at once, reducing crowding and dominance behaviours. Circular hay feeders, for example, naturally space cattle or sheep around the ring, encouraging equal access. Trough feeders with extended lengths or divided bays also help promote fairer distribution. Uneven intake usually happens when the design allows strong animals to monopolise the space - so choosing feeders that break up the feeding area can reduce that issue and improve efficiency.

  • Can certain gate designs help reduce bruising or slipping in wet weather?

    Yes - gate design directly impacts animal flow and safety, especially in wet or high-traffic conditions. Look for gates with quick-release latches and anti-slip footings. Rounded edges and cattle rail profiles reduce sharp contact points that could cause bruising. Dual-swing gates or split opening designs can also help you direct flow more easily, giving livestock a smoother, less stressful path. Positioning gates away from natural low points where water pools can also go a long way in preventing slips.
