Cattle Yard Plans
Our cattle yard designs have significantly evolved and improved over the many years we have been engaged in manufacturing, adapting to meet the diverse needs of each individual situation. Circular cattle yard designs paired with thoughtfully constructed curved race sections have become very popular designs among our clients and work efficiently in practice.
M & M Stockyards is dedicated to creating a comprehensive cattle yard system that can be tailored to suit every stockman’s requirements.

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;
SR - Straight Race
CR - Curved Race
Weean - Weean Race
HSR - Horse Shoe Race

80 - 100 Head Cattle Yards

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 yards sizes on 3 sheep per 1m2. This is only an approximate figure as the number will vary with shorn sheep as opposed to full wool sheep.
We use other basic abbreviations in our naming conventions such as:
SSR - Single Straight Race
DSR - Double Straight Race
