Cattleyard On-Property Design Service

Your new cattleyards are designed to suit you.

We specialise in custom designing cattleyards. By taking advantage of our On-Property Design Service, you will be able to appreciate the benefits of custom design when incorporating existing features into a new cattleyard design or yard renovation.

When Atlex Stockyards do an On-Property Design for you we will:

• TRAVEL to your property.
• Use our TOTAL BASE STATION (Robotic Theodolite) to survey your site (to an accuracy of 1mm, but for the purposes of the survey it may be 5mm) and DISCUSS WITH YOU all your requirements.
• A complete, accurate, COMPUTER AIDED two dimensional design drawn to scale which gives you flexibility for quick editing to assess many different design options.
• Atlex designs combine TEMPLE GRANDIN (Phd) DESIGN PRINCIPLES, which are regularly peer reviewed between Temple Grandin herself and Ian Crafter. Temple Grandin is a world authority on animal psychology from America
• Appraise the best direction of flow using all the ATLEX ANIMAL PSYCHOLOGY PRINCIPLES. This is CRITICAL to the SUCCESS of the yard design
• Incorporate any EXISTING FEATURES such as sheds, trees, dips, roads, fence lines or holding yards to make the project more COST EFFECTIVE.
• If you proceed with the cattleyards, our Total Base Station (Robotic Theodolite) can stakeout to the accuracy of 1mm from the agreed design,
• Experience in designing, manufacturing and installing over 3,000 different saleyards, feedlots, abattoirs and stockyards since 1984, plus owning our own properties and running cattle and sheep, helps provide you with the advantage of assessing many DIFFERENT OPTIONS at work.
• Advise and assist you with financing and planning the project in full or in stages over time.

As you can appreciate from the description here, our design service is comprehensive and meticulous, and entails an on-site visit by our design specialists.

This service is FREE when you go ahead and purchase yards from the design (value of $3,000 or more per site). However if you choose not to proceed or spend less than $3,000 per site, then there is a fee of $550 incl GST per site and the plans are yours to keep

Cattle yards can be purchased in stages as a part of a LONG-TERM PLAN, or you can purchase the high density working area and build on holding yards in cheaper material to conserve costs while achieving your overall objectives.

All our cattle yards are custom designed; however below are just a few examples of cattleyard that we have designed & built over the last 26 years:
