 Performance Outcomes 

 
 

Welfare & Comfort


20% greater airflow across the pen reduces heat unit accumulation, BRD incidence and mortality. Cattle remain calmer and cleaner, achieving higher grading outcomes and hot standard carcase weights that reflect the comfort of their finishing environment.

Time & Cost to Weight 


Stable conditions across the full feeding cycle drive consistent intake and measurably improve feed conversion, returning over 0.2 kg more average daily gain and 0.45 kg more dry matter intake per head per day.

Water Capture & Consumption 


Cattle housed under the Ridgeback® consume on average 5.2 litres less water per head daily. Rain exclusion reduces pen surface moisture and supports effluent capture, lowering cost and compliance exposure in water-constrained regions.

Operational Efficiency

 

Dry bedding reduces dag loading, pen cleaning frequency and manual handling requirements across the site. Ammonia and effluent run-off are reduced at the source, composted manure recovered as a saleable by-product and automation integrated to improve site-wide efficiency.

“We've incorporated the use of Ridgebacks® for animal welfare and environmental reasons. The cattle are comfortable, clean. Noticeable difference between cattle sitting in an outside pen and cattle in the shed in terms of their body temperature and comfort level when it's hot.”
Sarah Shaw, Elbow Valley Beef
“There were key drivers in improvement in hot standard carcass weights, improvements reflected in animal health – lower morbidity and mortality rates.”
Keith Howe, Rangers Valley
“The airflow that's created by the [Ridgeback®] design really does have an impact on the comfort of the cattle that we have here at Berrimah... A facility like this helps our industry deliver healthy animals and healthy beef.”
Tom Dawkins, Former NTLEA CEO
“The airflow design of the Ridgeback® definitely works, in my opinion. We see in our older sheds a lot less passive airflow, so we can get some ammonia smell, especially when the bedding is getting old. It's definitely not something we have noticed in the Ridgeback® design.”
Alex Smith, Rangers Valley
“The reason we chose the Ridgeback® was for the curved roof design and that airflow. Getting that air exchange rate is crucial for cattle comfort and animal health.”
Ash Sheahan, Teys Australia
