Cattle Yard Plans for Gippsland and Mornington Peninsula Farmers
Getting your cattle yard layout right makes every mustering and handling session faster, safer, and less stressful for your animals and your team. At Arcus Industries, we supply Brazzen cattle yard equipment and yard plans to help farmers across Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula build a setup that works for their property, herd size, and budget.
Whether you are starting from scratch, expanding an existing yard, or looking to replace ageing equipment with a stronger, more practical setup, we have the plans, the products, and the local knowledge to help you get it right.
Cattle Yard Plans
We offer a range of standard Brazzen cattle yard configurations to suit different herd sizes, property layouts, and handling requirements. Each plan is designed around practical stock flow, handler safety, and ease of use in the field.
Not sure which plan suits your property? Contact us and we will help you work out the right yard layout for your herd size, terrain, and handling needs.
Portable Cattle Yards
If you need a yard system that moves with you, our portable cattle yard solutions give you all the functionality of a permanent setup without being locked to one location. Portable yards are ideal for properties with cattle spread across multiple paddocks, for operations that run stock at remote locations, or for farmers who want a practical, cost effective alternative to building fixed yards in multiple spots.
Whether you are starting from scratch, expanding an existing yard, or looking to replace ageing equipment with a stronger, more practical setup, we have the plans, the products, and the local knowledge to help you get it right.

What Makes a Good Cattle Yard Layout?
A well designed cattle yard does more than just contain animals. It actively guides stock movement, reduces handler effort, minimises stress on cattle, and keeps everyone working in a safe, controlled environment. Here are the key principles behind every good yard layout:
Stock Flow First
Cattle move most predictably when they follow a natural curve or arc. Yard layouts that work with the instinctive movement patterns of cattle reduce the need for manual intervention and get stock through the race faster.
Holding Capacity
Your holding yard needs to comfortably accommodate your full mob without crowding, which stresses animals and makes them harder to handle. Plan for slightly more capacity than your typical mob size.
Race and Crush Access
The race should funnel cattle smoothly from the force yard into the crush or head bale, with enough race length to hold a steady line of animals without constant refilling.
Handler Safety
Every yard should be designed with clear, safe handler access points that keep people out of the direct path of moving stock. Access gates, walkway mesh, and race bows all contribute to a safer working environment.
Future Flexibility
A good yard can be expanded or reconfigured as your operation grows. Modular Brazzen panels make it easy to add capacity or change your layout without starting from scratch.
Permanent Cattle Yard Systems
For properties with a central handling area and regular mustering requirements, a permanent cattle yard is the most efficient long term investment. A well designed permanent yard reduces handling time, improves safety, and gives you a purpose built space that works every single time.
We supply the full range of Brazzen components needed to build a complete permanent cattle yard system, including:
- Standard and heavy duty premium cattle panels
- Cattle gates including standard, bent top, and height adjustable options
- Force yards for improved stock flow into the race
- Race bows, adjustable race bows, and walkway race bows
- Race walkway mesh for safe handler access
- Sliding gates for precise stock flow control
- Head bales and full cattle crush options (standard, heavy duty, premium)
- Loading ramps for stress free stock transport
- Access gates and manway panel gates for handler safety

Do You Have Any Questions ?
As your local authorised Brazzen distributor, we want to make sure you get the right equipment for your property. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
Can you help me design a cattle yard layout for my property?
Yes. Contact us and we can discuss your herd size, property layout, and handling requirements. We can recommend a suitable Brazzen yard plan or help you customise a configuration that fits your specific situation.
What is the difference between a portable and a permanent cattle yard?
A portable cattle yard uses modular panels that can be set up, moved, and packed down without tools or permanent installation. A permanent yard is fixed in place and typically includes concrete footings, permanent panels, gates, a race, and a crush. Portable yards are more flexible and cost effective for multiple locations. Permanent yards are better suited to high frequency handling at a central point.
How many panels do I need for my herd size?
This depends on your yard configuration, holding pen size, and race length. As a starting point, our standard yard plans outline the typical panel requirements for herd sizes from 10 to 250 plus head. Contact us for a more specific recommendation based on your property.
Do you offer custom yard configurations?
Yes. If none of our standard plans suit your property layout, we can discuss a custom configuration using Brazzen components to create a yard that fits your specific terrain, access points, and handling requirements.
Are Brazzen cattle yard panels galvanised?
Yes. All Brazzen panels are constructed from galvanised steel and are designed for long term durability in Australian outdoor conditions. The galvanised finish protects against corrosion and weathering.
Do you deliver cattle yard equipment?
Yes. We provide delivery across all of Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula. Pick up is also available from our three locations in Morwell North, Lang Lang, and Sale.
