Stockyards
Built A Better Way
Engineered, modular stockyards that reduce risk, improve performance, and deliver superior returns.
Livestock Yard Solutions Designed for Australian Producers
Efficient livestock handling begins with intelligent yard design. Poorly designed yards can create unnecessary stress on animals and handlers while slowing down daily operations.
YardCo Group focuses on developing stockyard systems that work with natural livestock behaviour. Our designs encourage smooth animal movement through the yard, improving efficiency while reducing pressure on livestock.
Our systems are suitable for:
- Cattle properties
- Sheep operations
- Mixed livestock farms
- Commercial livestock producers
- Stud operations
- Livestock backgrounding facilities
Each yard system is designed to support safe livestock handling, efficient drafting, and reliable day-to-day use.
Livestock Yard Solutions Designed for Australian Producers
Custom Stockyard Design
Every livestock property operates differently, which is why we design yard systems tailored specifically to your operation. Our team works with you to assess livestock numbers, property layout, workflow requirements, and future expansion needs.
The result is a practical stockyard layout that improves productivity while maintaining safe livestock handling practices.
Cattle Yard Systems
Handling cattle efficiently requires carefully planned yard layouts that guide animals through races, forcing yards, and drafting areas with minimal stress.
YardCo Group designs cattle handling systems that improve livestock flow and provide safe working areas for handlers. Our cattle yards are designed to support modern livestock management practices while maintaining durability in harsh rural conditions.
Sheep Yard Systems
Sheep handling systems require speed, flexibility, and efficient drafting capabilities. Our sheep yard designs allow sheep to move naturally through the yard while allowing producers to separate livestock quickly and efficiently.
By designing yards that reduce bottlenecks and improve flow, we help producers handle sheep more efficiently during sorting, treatment, and transport preparation.
Livestock Handling Equipment
A strong stockyard system relies on durable and reliable infrastructure. YardCo Group integrates livestock handling equipment including:
- Livestock panels
- Gates and drafting systems
- Handling races
- Forcing yards
- Loading ramps
- Yard hardware and fittings
Our systems are designed to withstand daily livestock pressure while maintaining long-term durability.
Stockyard Installation & Project Management
Design is only the start of the process. Proper manufacturing and installation ensures your stockyards perform above & beyond your expectations.
YarcdCo Group helps manage the end to end process alongside a team of experienced yard builders. From design to mark-out to commissioning, we make sure your yards are done once and done right.
Designed for Livestock Flow and Animal Welfare
Livestock behaviour plays a critical role in effective yard design. By understanding how animals move, react to pressure, and navigate confined spaces, stockyard layouts can be created to support natural livestock movement.
Our design approach focuses on:
- Reducing livestock stress during handling
- Encouraging natural animal movement
- Preventing bottlenecks and congestion
- Improving handler safety
- Increasing operational efficiency
These principles help producers handle livestock more effectively while maintaining strong animal welfare standards.
