Sheep Yard Components

M & M Stockyards prime stockyard products are all manufactured from first grade Australian Tube Mill material. This material features the highest galvanised coating available for its type on the Australian market, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance in various conditions

Panels

We use three types of panel rail material.

30 x 30 x 1.6mm SHS
53 x 35 x 1.6mm Oval Rail
75 x 40 x 1.6mm Oval Rail

Our standard first grade sheep panels come in three sizes.

2.16m long x 1.05m high
2.80m long x 1.05m high
4.17m long x 1.05m high

Standard panels are manufactured with 30 x 30 x 1.6mm SHS, while our heavy duty panels consist of five 53 x 35 x 1.6mm rails and a 75 x 40 x 1.6mm top rail.

We can also manufacture panels to custom sizes.

All Inclusive Panel Pricing

All panels come complete with joining pins and ground pins. That’s an all inclusive panel price!

Optional Panel Post Upgrade

We also offer a sheep yard panel post upgrade. Our standard panel posts are manufactured with gal material that is 1.6mm thick. We offer an upgrade to 2.5mm thick gal material, as this is the part of the sheep yard panel that is sitting on the ground. We have priced this upgrade at a cost of the material only. All of our other components (gate frames etc) come standard with a minimum of 2.5mm thick gal material.

Our Unique Sheep Yard Panel Joining/Pinning System

Identical to our cattle yard joining system, our heavier sheep yard panels have our unique “U” shaped zinc plated cleat with 19mm round holes to fit a tapered 16mm hot dipped gal pin. The lighter panels have a 14mm oval hole with a 12mm solid pin.

This system is the same at both the top and bottom of each end of a panel or gate frame. This system is a low noise, joining system with no sharp edges or protruding parts.

This style of joining/pinning system can be stepped to accommodate unlevel sites.

Sheep Yard Gates

Our sheep yard gates are either 2.16m or 2.82m long and 1.05m high. They are complete in a heavy duty 65 x 65 x 2.5mm galvanised SHS braced frame that is U shaped to allow easy access. Similar to the panel posts, the cap is removable to allow a star post to be driven through the centre of the post to provide further stability throughout the yards. The gate catches are a quick action chain catch.

Race Gate and Frames

Our race gates are manufactured to a specific length to provide an internal race width of 550mm for both single and double races. They can be installed at the ends of the race, as well as midway to provide shorter sections in the race. Race widths can also be customised to suit your application.

3 Way V Race Sheep Drafter

Our 3 Way V Race Sheep Drafter has a total length of 3.5m with the sheeted v-section being 2.5m long and the drafting gates being 1.0m long. The heigh of the sheep drafter is the same as our sheep yard components - 1.05m. The two drafting gates have been made with 25nb pipe ends to reduce sheep catching on the posts as they are drafted,.

The two handles are bent slightly outwards so the operator’s fingers do not get pinched while drafting. The two race gates at either end are reversible depending on which side you would like them to catch.

The V sheeted area assists drafting by single filing sheep and reduces the occurrence of sheep turning around ass they approach the drafting gates.
