A popular way to keep the cattle yards price as cheap as
possible is to mix and match differing panel styles, e.g. Hunter in race,
pound and force GP in balance. This allows for stronger style
steel cattle yard panels in the main area that will be faced by
the most pressure from stock, while the budget priced GP
(general purpose) metal cattle yard panels can be used in yard
areas which will receive less direct stock pressure. The
suitability of this strategy should take into account if the
cattle yards will receive frequent heavy use, as well as the
temperament of your cattle.

Wider entrance gates can be
added if required and a gate can be added anywhere.
Pictured 4m Rail Hunter entrance gate. Note the larger
steel profile used to keep the frame square. |

Most gates close on the outside of the yard. As the gate
can be swung and latched from any position this means
you are closer to the centre of the yards resulting in
less walking and more efficient cattle flow. |

The Steel -
Used in all our
cattle yards and cattle crushes.
All rail profile within the National Stockyard Systems product range are manufactured by
One Steel Australian Tube Mills.
The sections are doubly - symmetric oval for increasing bending
strength, bruise minimisation and stiffness in stockyard
applications. The rail is manufactured to High Tensile Grade
350LO - 450LO, confirms to Australian Standards AS 1163 for
structural steel, and is
galvanised inside and out for long lasting rust protection. The posts used confirm to the same properties as the rail. |

"We could have
bought cheaper, but we compared apples with apples. NSS yards
represented better value as their yards are bigger than others
that were quoting" |

cattle crushes.

Systems commissioned a leading industrial paint supplier to
