Euroa Saleyards New Loading System

"Speaking of Euroa, they’ve just finished installing two new ProWay designed curved-race cattle ramps, and they worked a treat in their first real hit out last week.

The solid-walled, curved (bugle) feed design with a round force pen and non-backing swing gate operated from a raised walkway that runs the entire length was hailed a winner.

Livestock transporter Dom Shanahan, Wodonga, said he loaded a B-double in half the time it would normally take.

“For a saleyard that has a sale once a month, this is fantastic.” He said. “The bigger centres should come and have a look and follow Euroa’s lead. These ramps are tremendous.”

Watching the load out last Friday, the new design takes a little longer getting used to because transporters and drovers no longer have to get in with the cattle. Once the concept of separation of man and best is understood, the cattle flow nicely.
