New yards at Struan between Roma and St George, Western QLD
By this time next week, they'll be handling their first mobs of cows and calves.
Here's what went into the design:
6-way pound draft with crow's nest — gives the operator full visibility and control when cutting cattle into multiple mobs. No guessing, no stress.
5-way race draft — efficient separation straight off the race without pushing cattle back through the system.
Serpentine race — keeps cattle calm and moving forward. They can't see what's ahead, so they walk on rather than baulking.
The whole yard is built around a big, open bugle shape — simple by design. When cattle can flow naturally, you need fewer people, less noise, and less time to get the job done.
That's the goal every time.
