The extra race length in the 30-Head Yard compared to the 27-head and 33-head yards is a valuable add-on. In this yard, the race is 4m long, so you’re able to fit around 3 cattle in the race vs. just 1 in the 27-head and 33-head yards. If you want to add an extra Sliding Gate to the race in this yard, that’s an option.
Great for dealing with mobs of 20 cattle quickly and efficiently.
You can add a Catwalk to this yard if you like. You can have the Catwalk running alongside the race only, or extend it to one panel back from the Sliding Gate.

As the owner of a lifestyle block, you need a yard that you can move around and grow to adapt to your stock numbers. You should also be able to run cattle and sheep through one set of yards rather than specific yards for each - that’s wasted money and more space taken up than what’s required.

Slam Latches
All gates use slam latches.
Rattle Free Hold
All connections between panels and gates use a ‘Clamp on Pin’. The clamp ‘squeezes’ panel/gate posts, and the pin sits snug in the lug to ensure a ‘rattle free’ hold
Ground Bracing
All yards are braced in the ground via 500m ribbed Ground Spikes (non-concrete) or Concrete Screws (on concrete)
Due diligence is important, but we know you’re a busy person with things to do. Below you’ll find an overview of the core features of the Maxxus range. If you’d like to know more, simply click the link below and it will scroll you to the relevant part of this page.
When cattle are putting pressure on yards, it is lateral pressure. For this reason our cattle rail is 47mm deep compared to the more common 40-42mm depth.
Our rattle free clamp system reduces annoying noise in the yard and ensures a tight hold between panels and gates compared with loose fitting pins and bolts that others use.
We recommend incorporating Overhead Bracing in yard sections with junctions near 90 degrees, especially if you’re dealing with stroppy stock. They help to lock in the yards structural integrity. Recommended if you’re buying a bigger MAXXUS design. If you’re buying a smaller yard and have quiet stock, then they’re not a necessity.
9 times out of 10, MAXXUS yards go on a gravel type pad or just grass. If you’re setting your yard up to be in place more permanently, we recommend adding our 500mm Ground Spikes to your package. If you’re planning to move your yard round or are running quiet stock, they’re not a necessity.
Our MAXXUS Loading Ramp has been designed to cater to your typical lifestyle farmer - you may need to load the back of a ute, or perhaps a trailer, or a proper stock truck. Cattle, calf and sheep friendly due to tight rail spacing.
As the owner of a lifestyle block or smaller yard, investing in yards, whether steel or timber, it’s a sizeable investment, so we recommend doing your due diligence. When it comes to steel yards, yes some brands do rattle. Rattly yards produce unnecessary noise that wind cattle up and make basic cattle handling tasks a nuisance. Not to mention getting your cattle into the yards next time being that much harder! We’ve solved this with quite a simple fix – our Anti-Rattle Connection Clamps.
Firstly, the steel rod on our clamps sits nice and snug in the lug fitting on each panel. We allow for ~0.5mm of clearance, so when you’re assembling your yard you’ll find that they ‘just’ fit.
Secondly, the ‘clamp’ section fits around the steel posts of each panel or gate, nice and flush. Using a wrench or ideally a rattle gun, these are tightened to ‘pinch’ the steel posts, removing any rattle.
Even Ben Mcilwrick (more commonly known at Ben The Fencer) who’s built plenty of timber yards in his time was amazed at how effective our anti-rattle clamps are. He’s recently built a set of our MAXXUS yards for one of his clients in Rangiora, North Canterbury
We were really unsure about steel yards for a couple of reasons - we’d heard they rattled and weren’t as solid as timber yards through other friends that have used steel in the past. Although Jack ensured that they’d mitigated those problems through their special clamping system and extra bracing, we went and had a look at a similar sized set of yards which really impressed us. Now that they’re standing, our fencer came to build some post and rail fencing to feed cattle into the yards. Even he was blown away with how solid they are with all the bracing and ground spikes supplied.
