Livestock & Cattle Shade Sails

We have been dealing with Westarp for some time now. They have proven to be a valued supplier of choice for our roll tarps and trailer canvas guards on our grain trailer range. Some of the reasons we chose Westarp includes their value for money and great customer service. Plus when we have undergone a short notice repair job we have been able to rely on Westarp to provide the occasional quick turnaround job so we could keep our customers moving.

Shade structure for your cattle is important to keep them safe from heat exhaustion during, what can be, extreme weather conditions during our Australian summer months. While livestock animals can cope with high levels of weather changes, this can eventually lead to increased level of stress for the animals causing a decrease in production but also eventually create health issues.

Heat Stress can lead to Reduce Productivity

Heat stress can have a major impact on the productivity of your cattle. A few issues, amongst others, that can arise are:

  • Increased Fatality Rate
  • Low weight gains for lot fed cattle
  • Increase in overall stress on the animals
  • Fertility problems and calving rates
  • A decrease in milk productivity for dairy cows
  • Vulnerable to infections
  • Heatstroke

Keep your Cattle safe with Livestock Shelters

Managing heat stress can be as easy as installing livestock shelters for your animals and it has been proven that the use of shade is ultimately the most important way for reducing such issues in cows. Provide a cool area to keep your cattle out of the sun with the help of properly installed shade structures. Livestock shade sails are engineered with the best quality materials to not only provide appropriate shelter and shade but can also withstand strong winds, heavy rain and even hail, keeping your cattle protected no matter what the weather condition is.
