"Manner Creek" Yards were a response to an unusual brief; lane drafting before the crush.
We have achieved that here with 6 way drafting before the crush, although 3 yards are still available for drafting after the crush. The curved race is designed to hold 12 adult head, and hydraulic or pneumatic controls are easily added to make the 6 way drafting even easier
Cooler paddocks mean much larger herds can be worked this yard, the yards themselves allow for an easy 600 head, before and after the lane drafting systems.
Simple traditional forces are used with teardrop pens and a bugle shaped yard installed with diamond yards making for simple easy cattle handling.
On the large pastoral leases of Queensland's north west the "Manner Creek" yard presents great value for money, built as a permanent yard or out of portable panels.
