Low Stress Cattle Yards for Safer, Smarter Handling

The South Galway Cattle Yards are a standout example of low stress cattle yards designed for practical use in mid-sized operations. This system helps producers work more confidently and calmly by promoting natural cattle flow and reducing pressure points in the yard.

South Galway Yards – Efficient Drafting for 100 Head

• 4-way drafting pound for quick and efficient sorting
• 2-way drafting after the crush with a third option back to the paddock
• Forcing tub and curved race that guide stock with minimal stress
• Cattle-free working zone to enhance operator safety
• Circular design that supports smooth, stress-free stock movement

With a combined working area of 400m², some manufacturers might rate this system for 200 head. We rate it realistically at 100 head—ensuring ample room for safe and effective cattle handling, both before and after drafting, without needing to empty pens between processes.

Built for Calm, Designed for Flow

These low stress cattle yards are engineered with safety, control, and efficiency in mind. Every feature, from the circular layout to the dedicated working zones, contributes to smoother handling for both man and beast.

If you’re looking for a cattle yard design that balances throughput with welfare, the South Galway setup delivers.
