Approach

Operator Safety

The safety of you and your staff or family is our highest priority. Thompson Longhorn understands that workplace health and safety requirements will become more prominent in the industry and aim to minimise the risk of injury to personnel by the careful design of equipment. 

We understand that as a livestock producer or handler, you need to provide a safe working environment.  Thompson Longhorn provides operation manuals and induction training for the correct use of all of our equipment after installation.

Improving the flow of cattle through the facility will also increase staff productivity, as less time is wasted on pushing up cattle that have turned back, baulked or even escaped from inferior yards.

Animal Welfare

The design of our products and facilities is based on local and international research by renowned animal behaviourists and our own experience. We have incorporated this knowledge to create equipment that will greatly reduce stress on animals and the incidence of bruising.   Lower stress on animals leads to a reduction in the amount of weight loss as cattle are handled, leading to higher productivity and more kilos of beef produced in your operation.
