The Agri-Fencing Approach

Stockyards aren’t just about rails and gates. They’re about flow, safety, usability, and future-proofing. We brought in our experience and rural insight to deliver a tailored solution, including:

• Optimised Stock Flow: The layout was designed to reduce stress on animals and improve handler efficiency. From offloading stock straight into the yards to the seamless drafting race and head bale setup, every decision was made with animal movement in mind.

• Clever Gate Configuration: A small adjustment, adding two extra gates, created a whole new drafting option and an additional pen. These kinds of smart tweaks are the “fencer’s eye” touches that make a big difference.

• Ready for Future Tech: While the weigh scale system wasn’t going in right away, we built with future installation in mind. Concrete pads and space allowances were factored in so the client can upgrade later without tearing things up.

• Built Right, First Time: From driver steps to post placements, we added those small but impactful features that experienced stock workers appreciate. The goal was to make sure the farmer didn’t need to do any DIY add-ons after we’d gone.

• Zero Waste, On Budget: By using the right contractors and getting dimensions right from the start, we minimised offcuts, reduced waste, and delivered the job within budget. Our connections in the industry meant the client didn’t pay extra for quality tradespeople.

The Result

When you look at these yards, you just know it’s an Agri-Fencing Taranaki job. The attention to detail, the functional beauty, and the way it fits naturally into the farm. It’s the kind of work that lasts, and that locals talk about.

This yard will be a cornerstone of the client’s operation, ready for drenching, loading, and drafting with zero need for modifications. And most importantly, it works with the farmer, not against them.
