Yard grooving — feedpads, races & sale yards
Concrete grooving is the fastest, safest and most efficient way to turn your existing concrete into a long-lasting non-slip surface.

- — Drafting yards — easier handling, less stress on stock
- — Loading yards — cows stay on their feet up the ramp
- — Sale yards — proven in commercial multi-truck environments
- — Feedpads, underpasses, races — anywhere concrete gets wet
A slipping cow in a yard costs you more than time. Injury risk goes up, stock stress goes up, and throughput slows. The fix is permanent — and it costs less than one vet call per m².
Why grooved yards work better
Gordon Wright has pushed 15,000 cattle through his grooved yard since the job was done. Not one slipping problem. That's not luck — it's what crosshatch grooving does. The pattern creates traction in every direction, so whether a cow is stepping sideways into a race or backing up a loading ramp, she finds her footing.
Grooves also channel water off the surface rather than letting it pool. Less standing water means less algae build-up, which is another common cause of slipping in older yards. One job, two problems solved.
"Cows were slipping when going through yards. Very pleased — prevented the cows from slipping over. It has been a 100% improvement."
John — Frankton Sale Yards, Hamilton
"Fitted in with our milking times. Good communication. Cows no longer slip on the yard — much easier to draft and handle."
