One Man Corrals

ABOUT US

 

After 17 years TB testing cattle in New Zealand , working in hundreds of cattleyards (corrals) , I   had many ideas on how to improve cattleyard design.  So I sent 12 ideas (for gates, race/chute, and gate catches) to the national farming magazine, the NZ FARMER. At the time they paid you $10 for every idea they published - I thought I might get $20 - 30 out of it.

Well they used all 12 ideas, made it the front page feature article, and paid me $150 for it.

From there I took designing  corrals a lot more seriously and have had over 55 articles published in 5 countries, mostly on my One-Man Corrals.

A major focus in designing corrals is safety, and reducing costs and labor . By  designing corrals that entice cattle into and through the corral,  there's less labor required and less stress on cattle and handler, and the corrals are safer to work in.

I moved from New Zealand to Australia 12 years ago and now do the corral designing part time. I also do a bit of handyman work (being raised on a farm I still enjoy the 'hands on' work). I live in Queensland on the beautiful Gold Coast.
