Nockatunga Cattle Yards – Efficient 300 Head Breeding Yard with Low Stress Cattle Handling

The "Nockatunga" Yards are a well-designed 300 head breeding yard, created with practical cattle handling and operational efficiency in mind. This design focuses on smooth cattle flow and safety for both stock and operators.

Key Features of the Nockatunga Cattle Yard

• Open working race for easy needling and back lining of stock in the race
• Curved race with adjustable vee and 360-degree forcing tub for efficient and safe workflow
• Calf race positioned close to the working race to allow future roof installation
• 4-way drafting capability after the crush
• Small return lane for reprocessing stock if necessary
• Diamond yards and laneway connecting all draft pens to the working area
• Connection of working pens to feed pens for smooth operational flow
• Ability to empty any pen back to feed or cooler pens independently, reducing double handling
• Allows cooler paddocks and feed pens to expand the effective capacity beyond 300 head

This practical design reduces wasted time and labour, helping manage larger mobs of cattle effectively with low stress handling principles.
