Modern hydraulic handling, top-notch veterinary care, and a system designed around safety first.

Modern Handling

A hydraulic squeeze chute and a curved, low-stress tub system feed into clean alleys. Low-stress handling means a safer crew and calmer cattle.

Traceability

A passport for every animal.

Every animal carries an ear tag that follows it from the day it arrives to the day it sells. We know its history, its health, and exactly where it has been. Cameras across the yard back up the records, so load counts are verifiable and the handling standard holds around the clock.

  • HHealth historyEvery treatment and check-up is logged against the animal's tag.
  • FWhat it has been fedThe full feed record travels with the animal from arrival to sale.
  • LWhat field it is inWe track which field every animal is in at any point in the season.

Built for Scale

Built to move cattle at scale.

Every animal that comes onto the place comes in over the chute, and every animal that leaves goes out the same way. We have worn out three chutes in five years keeping that standard.

Loading and shipping are done efficiently, so big numbers move through the facility calmly and on time.
