Yaloak Estate began a substantial fencing program using Euroka Fencing in 2003. The aim was to control serrated tussock through weed eradication and livestock pressure; by replacing existing fences and creating new smaller paddocks.

The program has moved away from light electric fencing in the early years to mostly steel post fencing and ringlock fencing today. Rabbit-proof netting fences are used in some areas where the aim is to prevent crop damage.

The other major fencing style at Yaloak Estate is the multi-wire horse electric fencing with Bayco sighter wire.

Euroka Fencing has constructed Yaloak Estate’s sheep, cattle and horse yards. Also, presentation fencing including the Estate’s main entrance with wrought iron gates.

Yaloak Estate has leased a number of water treatment farms throughout Victoria where we’ve completed maintenance and constructed more yards and livestock handling facilities.

Client testimonial:

“Euroka Fencing have carried out all fencing works for Yaloak Estate since 2003. As Livestock Manager, I have overseen the fencing program, working alongside Rick Stephens since 2009. We have completed a number of major projects; Brisbane Ranges Kangaroo fence, Melbourne Water Healthy Water Ways and also Yaloak’s own fencing program.

We run mixed livestock so have required many styles of fencing; ringlock, netting, plain wire, electric, horse fencing, as well different livestock facilities. Some of the conditions at Yaloak have been extremely challenging with rock, and steep inaccessible country however we still manged to find a way to achieve our development goals.

Euroka Fencing have always maintained a high standard of workmanship, have been reliable and consistent, and I have found Rick easy to communicate with.”
