Testimonials

What our clients are saying.....

Leicht's CIA crushes & animal management products are second to none. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship practised by the Leichts CIA team is one of the reasons their products have stood the test of time with cattlemen continuing to come back requesting a Leichts CIA crush. Their continuing focus toward animal safety and well-being as well as operator safety is another contributing factor to the success of this family owned business. Mark, Emily-Jane and the team are a pleasure to deal with and are most accommodating when it comes to customised modifications to your crush. I have no hesitation in recommending the Leichts CIA range of crushes and their associated products.

We now have two of our properties set up with Leicht's CIA cattle handling equipment, including forcing yards and crush assemblies. Since we have installed these, the cattle are far more quieter and easier to handle and it is much safer for the operator. Our vet has also commented on the safety and ease of operation of the systems we have in place now compared to our old setups.

We installed a Leicht's CIA 5 way auto draft, hydraulic crush, curved race and forcing yard in 2008. It was easy to install and set up. It allows quick flow of cattle and low stress on stock. We can weigh and draft 400 steers in just over two hours with two men. Leicht's CIA sales and service is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble.

I run a live export depot in Northwest Australia and have recently installed a Leicht's CIA hydraulic crush with the five way remote draft. The equipment is built strong and robust but still gives the stockmen and vets great access to all areas of the crush. The system runs very smooth and is user friendly. It allows us to process cattle extremely quick with minimal stress on the cattle or the stockmen. I've used several CIA crushes both manual and hydraulic and I can not fault them or the Leicht's CIA service or backup. I would not recommend anything else.

We disposed of our old timber cattle yards, which were dangerous and not pratical with gates not swinging the right way, and timber rails breaking. In search of a quality crush and yard system we could not go past the Leicht's CIA range of cattle handling equipment, with the excellent quality of workmanship and the use of Australian made sttel being a stand out feature. This new system has made working cattle far quicker, easier and less stressful on the cattle.

We run a small Droughtmaster stud on our family property in South East Queensland. The cattle crush had been installed some thirty years ago and quite frankly, was dangerous to operate. We decided to replace the crush with something that was practical, easy to use and most importantly, safe. A fellow Droughtmaster breeder suggested that we look at the Immobilizer manufactured by 'Leichts Country Industries Australia'. They had installed the Immbilizer on their property and were very impressed with the efficiency and safety.

Mark and the team from Leichts CIA were a joy to deal with from the outset. They inspected the property, took photos of the yards, race and existing crush, and then manufactured a crush to meet our needs and slot seamlessly into the location. Mark also recommended a number of modifications such as reducing the width of the race, installing a Leichts CIA loading ramp, and a number of Leichts CIA sliding gates along our very long race, all of which were designed to make our operation more efficient.

The installation process went off without a hitch. The boys from Leichts CIA worked tirelessly for two days and nights and the finished product is nothing short of fantastic. We are so thrilled. What would normally take us most of the day to complete is now achieved in a couple of hours with no fuss and no stress on the cattle.

Not only is the Leichts CIA Immobilizer cattle crush and gate system efficient and easy to operate, it is safe. Our parents, both of whom are well into their 70's, take charge of the crush and gates whenever we are doing work with the cattle. They love it! But more importantly, they can operate the system with ease and without risk of injury.

We would have absolutley no hesitation in recommending Leichts CIA products.

We have a Leicht's CIA Immobolizer Pro-Chute as the prize for the Champion Pen of Steers at our annual Steer Sale; to date we have give away four pro-chutes and find vendors coming back again and again to win it each year. We also use a Leicht's CIA pro-chute in our saleyars for all of our husbandry and mouthing needs, putting through over 38,000 head a year. We can't afford for cattle to be knocked around and we certainly can't afford to have breakdowns with equipment. Personally, I also use a Leicht's CIA vet crush for my own cattle work. I wouldn't use or recommend anything else.
