ABOUT US
Do you have a few cattle you want moved? Do you need to transport a horse or donkey but can’t get it into a float? Are you selling some llamas and need them shifted? Do you need help clipping your goat’s toenails or drenching your sheep? Or perhaps you need help catching some four legged escapees?
LOADING
My 4WD truck will back up to a standard loading ramp, or I can back by trailer up to a stock yard race or low loading ramp, drop the tailgate down as a ramp to walk the animals up. I also have portable custom steel yard panels that form a small forcing yard at the back of the trailer, so that animals can be caught and pushed up into the trailer.
NOT JUST TRANSPORT
As well as livestock transport, I’m available as a labourer to help with mustering, catching, separating, husbandry (e.g. drenching, tagging, hoof trimming, de-horning, branding and marking), and fence repairs.
