• Works Perfectly

  Beef Buddy

  …When we installed our first Beef Buddy, it worked perfectly. When the cows were in the Box, we could stay at the crush and have cattle walk up to the crush without anyone going near them. We now have 4 Beef Buddy’s at different sets of yards including one that loads a working race from one corner and a loading ramp from the diagonally opposite corner. The principal of having cattle squeeze past us and head straight for the daylight in the corner (which is the race entrance), works really well…

• Ease of Handling

  …After making do with a yard system at “Brooklyn, our Loomberah property, well past its use by date, earlier this year we decided to upgrade. We wanted to integrate a new round yard, force pen, race, crush with inbuilt scales, draft and ramp into our existing outer yard and proposed holding yard complex. When we approached Arrow they visited the site, listened to our requirements and came back with plans for discussion and revision. After our requirements were settled the Arrow team were very competitive with their pricing and they followed through with delivery and installation as promised. They were prepared to make modifications as required so the system fitted into our overall plan.

  We have now been using the yards for a couple of months and are thrilled with the difference the upgrade has made to our productivity. The ease of handling, safety and cattle throughput improvements have been remarkable. We will certainly approach the Arrow team again when we look to upgrade the yards at our Willow Tree property…

• Easy Flow Yards

  We had acquired a lease block of land & we needed yards in which to work 80 head of cattle. As we had to fit into existing fence lines, we started drawing our own plans as we could not find anything that was quite right – The Arrow team was willing to work in with us to help achieve easy flow yards.

  The design changes & drawings from Arrow have ensured that we ended up with a yard that works as we wanted. After using the yards a number of times we are very happy with the results. The flexibility of the yards being semi-permanent suited us, giving options for change later on, due to only leasing the land.

  After experiencing the prompt service, help & advice at Arrow there is no doubt Arrow Farmquip Yards are worthy of our recommendation.

• Great Yards

  I recently purchased a set of Arrow portable cattle yards, AFQ 225 model. The yards were easy to erect, well designed and constructed. The design facilitates the flow of stock and makes working a pleasure.

  The crush, a 5100 series, has excellent features including needle gate and quick catch head bale that works very well. It is the equal of many much more expensive brand name crushes.

  The Q catch head holder is a great piece of equipment that makes mouthing cattle and administrating bloat capsules extremely safe and less stressful on both the animal and the handler.

  Arrow is excellent to deal with providing helpful customer service before and after the purchase. I like my arrow yards and reckon they are great value.

• Wonderful Asset

  Sheep Crush

  The Sheep & Goat Catcher has proven to be a wonderful asset, saving me and my assistant a great deal of back breaking work. It functions smoothly and quickly, holds the sheep securely, and they are surprisingly relaxed while upside down.

• Over the Moon

  Lamb Marking Cradle

  Just a quick note to pass on to you and the team. Our client who purchased the lamb cradle and stand is over the moon with how easy it made his lamb marking, (and his wife was stoked as well – in a good way!) Thanks again for the product and speedy supply!

• Brilliant!

  I find the Arrow Farmquip yards work well, are of strong construction and easy to re-arrange if wanted. The draft works really well and the yard gates are brilliant.

• Very Practical

  …Ï’m very satisfied with my sheep yards, small compared to some farmers but very practical for my use…

• Thoroughly Recommended

  In late 2011, we purchased a set of budget semi-permanent sheep yards designed to hold 1450. They were quick and simple to erect and adaptable to any design.
  These yards are strong and durable and able to withstand a good deal of pressure without buckling or excessive movement.

  Visibility is good and the sheep run through all areas readily. If new yards are required, this is the way to go, they are thoroughly recommended.

• Semi-Permanent Bugle Design

  Our Arrow Farmquip sheep yards could not have come sooner. The old yards were in constant need of repair and were not the most user friendly. The flow of the sheep through the bugle design of the Arrow yards makes our job so much quicker and easier now. Thankfully we have the V sided drafting race which slows them down at the critical moment though!

  We also recommend the semi- permanent nature of the yards as it gives some flex when a sheep hits a panel at pace (plus has the added benefit of being able to move them should we choose to do so in the future).

  If our cattle yards deteriorate any further, we might be in contact with Arrow again…

• Completed the Job in Less than Half the Time

  Thanks for your help with the sheep yards.

  I was very impressed that the yards were so easily erected, under three hours and the job was complete.  I would estimate that we could handle about 800 sheep at a time.  The day after we installed the yards we brought the Dorpers in for a drench and marking, the quality showed out when some sheep tested the yards and we completed the job in less than half the time we would normally take.

  The yards offer excellent value for money, the most helpful thing was the assistance of those at Arrow from designing, manufacturing, loading and co-ordination, these are the actions that go to make a brilliant outcome.

• Build them Once and Build them Right

  We said we were going to build them once and build them right, what used to take two hours takes just twenty minutes max. – it’s now just so easy. The design of the bugle for penning up sheep into the shed makes a big difference, drenching, drafting, it’s just free flowing and you can do it by yourself with two dogs. You can just stand there, relax and draft sheep.
