Sheep Yard Sample Designs

ProWay products are proudly designed and manufactured in
Australia, and installed all over the world.

OVER 20 YEARS OF QUALITY DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE

All sheep enterprises have unique requirements, because of this the best stockyard design is the one that is tailored to suit your operation.

ProWay don’t sell yards straight out of a catalogue. We use our range of standard designs as a benchmark for working capacity which are then fine-tuned to meet the individual needs of our clients. In many cases we design from scratch, drawing on our extensive design library to create a facility specific to your needs.

PROWAY YARDS ARE DESIGNED & BUILT TO LAST GENERATIONS

Details such as operator and vehicle access, where gates swing from, gate length, yard orientation, corners in yards and pen size all influence stock flow.

All ProWay facilities are drawn with CAD software to ensure measurements are accurate and fit as designed come construction.

THE PROWAY DESIGN ADVANTAGE

ProWay measure your site with survey and satellite data to record relevant existing fence lines, elevation, roof structures, trees and other infrastructure or services which can be factored into your new facility. This provides a significant advantage and cost saving as in many cases, existing holding yards or structures can be utilised in the new build.

For green field sites we work with you to ensure site selection will best suit your property including best access for stock, operators and trucks.

On top of your design, we provide site preparation guides which can include recommended new fence lines, laneways and earthworks, as well as turning circles for semi and b-double trailers so you can be sure everything fits.

SHEEP SERPENTINE DRAFT

  • Developed to aid drafting, particularly in British breed and crossbred sheep. It is also equally effective in merino sheep
  • The combination of the tight curve and the tapered sides in the path they must travel, restricts the speed of the sheep, giving the operator comfortable time to make their drafting decision
  • Sheep tend to watch their feet as they are negotiating the curve so are less focused on watching the operator
  • The net effect is more consistent flow of sheep at a moderate speed allowing accurate drafting

RAM BREEDER

These rails are an extra heavy duty galvanised oval extrusion, 53mm x 35mm

  • The oval profile of tube presents a flat vertical surface, giving excellent visibility with no sharp edges
  • Standard panels have 6 rails and are set at 1050mm high
  • Large gaps between top rails to minimise leg injury to sheep or dogs
  • Posts are fully galvanised 50NB pipe and where swinging gates are longer than 2.5m, 80NB posts are used for strength

Pipe Rail

  • Built using high tensile galvanised pipe with a top rail @ 25NB (34mm O.D) and 5 rails @ 20NB (26mm O.D) below
  • Rails are spaced with optimum air gaps for holding small lambs through to woolly sheep and rams
  • Posts are fully galvanised 50NB pipe and where swinging gates are longer than 2.5m, 80NB posts are used for strength
  • The pipe range while more economical, remains a robust alternative to the oval rail
