The calf race sits at the heart of that solution. RPM's stand-alone version is galvanised for long-term durability and fully sheeted along its length, which cuts down the visual distractions that make calves baulk or hesitate in the lane. A headrail runs the length of the race to stop calves jumping up mid-flow, keeping movement steady and reducing the chance of injury to both animal and handler. Panels can be built to any length, so the race slots into an existing yard layout rather than forcing a full rebuild.
For operations running branding days, the calf branding race gives you a dedicated, secure space to work in, separate from general movement through the yards. It's built for marking, branding, and other routine procedures without calves backing up the rest of the system. Where a calf race is set up alongside a full-sized cattle race, a diversion gate lets you draft calves straight out of the adult line, and the race is available in nearside or offside configurations to suit how your yards are laid out.
Every unit from RPM Livestock Equipment is Australian made and galvanised for the conditions our yards actually see, from dust and manure through to years of daily use. The sheeted panels aren't just about calming the calves either, they protect the structure itself and keep the race looking and working like new season after season. Because the design connects into both stand-alone setups and the larger adult cattle race, it adapts to how your operation actually runs rather than the other way around.
