200-Year-Old Station Transforms Cattle Handling | Smart Yard Design Boosts Profits & Animal Welfare

Discover how Connorville Station in Tasmania is revolutionizing cattle management with a low-stress yard system that works with nature – not against it. Join us as we tour this historic 60,000-acre property with manager Adrien Carpenter, who walks us through the third major redesign of their cattle yards. Learn how thoughtful modifications like a Bud Box, circular flow, blind panels, and custom-built crushes are: ✅ Slashing handling times ✅ Reducing livestock stress and bruising ✅ Attracting premium buyers ✅ Improving safety for workers ✅ Increasing overall productivity With cattle calmly walking through the yards and buyers lining up for contracts, this is a real-world case study in smart agricultural infrastructure that pays for itself.
