Know how the sheep think and you design yards that make sheep do the work for you.
Our Sheep Yards are customised for your site, by your site and to the highest benchmarks and ethical standards.
Many farmers may pick a design they like or they’ve seen at work elsewhere. This selection can inhibit the design evolution, limiting the greatest assets Flinn Design are influenced by when creating truly customised yards:
- Site orientation
- Animal instinct
- Human behaviour
No two farms have the same factors influencing the design development, so Flinn Design yards are customised for your site, by your site.
We’ll incorporate the features you like, but the design should develop with the final concept only revealing itself once all factors have been considered and taken effect.
Our overall concept is an organic evolution of influences based on:
Site
SLOPE
Sheep moving uphill have reduced vision increasing their instinct to follow.
LIGHT
Sheep will be drawn by natural escape that light creates.
ENVIRONMENT
Infrastructure like buildings or trees can create the negative that encourages stock to escape, flow around or pass.
Yard Purpose
Sustainable requirements, both current and future.
Materials
Sheep are drawn by sheep. Natural instinct, selected materials and negative spaces are used for visual draw. Blind panels are used to present escape.
