Farmweld cattle yards, hay feeders, crushes, cattle ramps and associated cattle products are manufactured to withstand the daily wear and tear of farm life.Whether you are a farmer or small property owner, we will take the time to talk to you and find out exactly what you need when designing or modifying a cattle yard so that we can custom design our products to fit your needs and budget.

As with our other products all cattle yards, cattle ramps, head bails, races, etc. are custom made for each job. We make both portable cattle yards and fixed cattle yards and Farmweld cattle gates and steel cattle panels are made from quality hot dipped galvanised pipe. If you are after a complete cattle yard package or just want your existing cattle yards modified, talk to us and we'll design something for you.

The Manufacturing Process …

Notched Joins. We accurately measure and then notch all the joints in the steel panel. Joins are notched rather than squashed to provide a cleaner looking and stronger join which will distribute loads more widely and evenly within the steel cattle panel and also provide a smoother joint with less chance of cattle injuring themselves on protrusions and damaging your animals meat or hide. The join shown here is notched and unwelded demonstrating how neatly the ends fit around the adjoining pipe.
Properly cleaned panels. Once the cattle panels have been MIG welded all of the joints are wire brushed to remove sharp weld residue and spatter from the rails. Welds are then painted with ‘cold galv’ to prevent corrosion.
Squared corners. The top corners of all steel cattle panels are made square and not bent, an added safety feature which minimises the risk of injury to animals who on occasion attempt to jump over the cattle yards. This design feature helps to prevent animals wedging their legs between the steel cattle panels resulting in injury or death to your precious stock.
Vertical Supports. As seen below, panels in our cattle yards that are 2m or longer have a 50x5mm galvanised steel strap welded down the centreline of the cattle panel to help support the rails.
Quality Fittings. The fittings and caps used on our cattle yards are all quality hot dipped galvanised items from reputable suppliers.

Other options: Because our cattle yards are custom made we can modify them in any way to suit your needs. We can alter the height, use additional rails, mesh or blind panels. We also manufacture and tailor the following cattle products to suit their location.

	Fixed Cattle Yard Panels:The panels stand 1600mm high and have either five evenly spaced 32mm n/b rails (as above) or six 32mm n/b rails welded at varying intervals, the bottom four being closer together to help contain smaller calves and the top two rails of the cattle panel slightly further apart.Cattle panels are made to whatever length you want up to a maximum of 3m/10". The wall thickness and diameter of the rails can be varied, as well as the number of rails.
	Portable Cattle Yards: are made similar to the fixed cattle yard panels with the added feature of a curved foot. The design of this foot allows the portable cattle panel to rest more solidly on loose and uneven ground and longer cattle panels which are heavy can easily be moved by simply grabbing the end of the cattle panel and dragging .
Head Bails Left: Walk through head bail	Cattle Ramps Cattle ramps are available as both fixed and mobile units. Cattle ramps can be made with an adjustable floor (as pictured above) or to a fixed height. All cattle ramps are made to order.
Cattle Crushes - options include: Sliding gates Vet access gates Opening sides Walk through or sliding head bail Slam catches Cattle crushes are made to whatever configuration you require. Pictured Right: Cattle Vet Crush with 2 split vet gates, one side opening with slam catches, rear sliding gate and walk through head bail. Note: Blind panel recommended over bottom rails.
