ALLAN GRAY, "Grandale" Geurie NSW "I was a neighbour of Murray Schaefer for 10 years at Manilla. The rugged terrain of his 5000 acres of leased country called for good horses and dogs. He contact managed another 8000 acres for absentee Sydney owners and ran a contract fencing and yard building business on the side. He built numerous sets of yards and well over 500 km of fencing on many Northern NSW properties. Murray was an outstanding horseman and had an excellent team of dogs and was widely regarded as one of the district's best stockmen. When he joined Metalcorp Steel in the early 90's we lost a good neighbour but it is very gratifying to see him back in the Agricultural Industry supplying what I think are the best valued and practical yards on the market today". |

JASON CLARK Yard Manufacturing Manager "I worked for two other leading Tamworth based stockyard manufacturers for the previous five years and I made the move to National Stockyard Systems because they have an all-round better product and more original thinking goes into the design of the product than I have seen anywhere else". |
