Australia - Farm infrastructure designs are tailored to help livestock flow efficiently

07.08.2025 144 views

In the rugged heart of Australia, Stockpro has quietly become one of Australia's most trusted names in livestock handling infrastructure.

Born from three generations of hands-on farming experience, the Dietrich family officially launched Stockpro in 2003 but its roots stretch back to the early 1990s, when they began engineering and refining their own stockyards on their mixed beef, lamb and wool property.

Stockpro's evolution has been steady and intentional.

A purpose-built manufacturing facility followed in 2017; further expansion in 2022-23 increased capacity and brought the entire operation under a single 1700m roof in Condobolin, NSW.

That investment in state-of-the-art production underlines the company's commitment to long-lasting, locally made equipment built for Australia's harsh northern climate.

Some of the products include:

  • semi-permanent cattle yards;
  • permanent cattle yard systems;
  • standard cattle yard designs;
  • cattle crushes;
  • cattle drafting and weighing;
  • cattle loading ramps.

Every part of the design process is deeply consultative: Stockpro begins with site visits or drone surveying, followed by CAD plans and detailed visuals that are refined collaboratively with the customer.

Once designs are approved, Stockpro manages raw materials, oversees fabrication, schedules installation, engages local shedbuilders or contractors, and provides quality control through to final handover, all while keeping clients informed every step of the way.

The proof is in the performance.

Across Queensland, the Northern Territory and beyond, Stockpro systems have delivered measurable efficiency and safety gains, with improved stock flow and reduced stress on both animals and handlers.

Since opening a purpose-built 1700 square metre manufacturing facility in 2017 - and expanding again in 2022-23 - Stockpro has remained steadfast in producing Australian-made, heavy-duty steel equipment designed to withstand harsh climates in Queensland, the Northern Territory and beyond.

From initial briefing through to manufacture, delivery and installation, Stockpro manages the entire process under one roof-ensuring punctual delivery and high-quality results.

Why Stockpro stands out:

  • Grounded in farming expertise, with three generations of pastoral experience;
  • Locally made, durable gear built for Australia's toughest conditions;
  • End-to-end service from design to installation;
  • Bespoke solutions suited to each farm's scale, terrain and data needs;
  • Proven return through labour savings, safer work and long-term value.

The family-owned business is at the coalface of the livestock equipment industry and is proud to provide options for cattle, sheep and woolgrowers across the country, including the Northern Territory and Queensland.

StockPro believes investing in new livestock handling equipment is vital for farmers to be able to efficiently capture animal data and utilise software.

This will allow them to track livestock performance, make better decisions and grow profits.

Stockpro takes the time to understand each individual livestock operation and its challenges in order to create a solution that meets its needs.

For beef and woolgrowers weighing infrastructure investment, Stockpro delivers more than equipment; it offers tailored, site-tested solutions built to grow with your enterprise.
