It is paramount that livestock handling facilities are well designed for safe, effective animal flow and that they require low maintenance.   Over the past 50 years there have been many improvements and Leask Engineering offer a variety of designs to suit every herd size and budget.  

Well designed and functional yards not only save money and time, but more importantly help prevent injury to workers and animals. Undue handling stress or improper conditions can reduce the weight and lower the general health and productivity of your livestock and ultimately decrease your income.

As cows exit after milking, their destination can be determined by the use of drafting gates. Smooth cow flow through the gates is ensured by good gate design, where the angle the cow has to turn is minimised. Individual or numerous cows can be drafted from the main herd to holding pens for further attention. The gates are designed to stop cows forcing the gate and potentially getting jammed. Several manually (from the pit) operated gate designs are available using mechanical levers or pneumatics, or alternatively, a fully automated drafting system can also be installed.
