CATTLE & SHEEP YARD PLANS
Australian Designed for Australian Conditions
Our cattle yard designs have evolved over the many years we have been manufacturing, changing with the needs of each individual situation. Circular cattle yard designs with curved race sections are very popular designs and work very efficiently.
M & M Stockyards can design a cattle yard system to suit every stockman.

Naming Conventions and Cattle Yard Sizes
Our cattle yard names are based on the working capacity - not the holding capacity.
To be consistent in our naming convention we have based our yard sizes on 1.3m2 per 500kg beast weight. To compare different yard systems, the holding capacity can be worked out by dividing the area of the yard by 1.3.
We also use other basic abbreviations in our naming conventions such as;
(CR) - Curved Race design
(HSR) - Horseshoe Shapes Race design
(Weean) - Weean Race design
(SR) - Straight Race design
Our cattle yard designs are proven to work. Over the years we have modified our designs to grow with the changing need in safe cattle handling. Our systems consist of portable cattle yard sections including cattle panels, gates in frames, slide gates in frames and other portable frames where needed.
The yards can be moved or modified if needed. Gates and panels can be swapped around and the yards can be extended at a later date. You can start by putting the race and force sections into an older set of yards and build from that into a complete new cattle yard system, or just replace the sections that will no longer cope with the workload.

Sheep Yard Plans
M & M Stockyards have now expanded into sheep yard systems using portable modular sections including sheep panels, gates in frames and full modular drafting sections.
The beauty of this type of system is that nothing has to be set in concrete. The yards can be moved or modified if needed. Gates and panels can be swapped around and the yards can be easily extended at a later date.
M & M Stockyards can design a sheep yard system to suit every stockman.

Sheep Yard Sizes - Naming Conventions
Our sheep yard names are based on the working capacity - not the holding capacity. To be consistent in our naming convention we have based our yard sizes on 3 sheep per square metre.
This is only an approximate figure as the number will vary with shorn sheep as opposed to full wool sheep.
