Graham’s Precast builds on tradition and family pride

Peter Graham, owner of Graham’s Precast Concrete Products in Kyogle, couldn’t be prouder of his daughter Amber.

Following in her father’s footsteps, Amber has recently started as a first-year welder apprentice, where she fabricates the steel grid sections that sit atop the company’s precast concrete cattle grid bases.

“It’s pretty special to see her learning the ropes and taking such pride in the work,” Peter said. “These grids are the heart of what we do, and to have the next generation involved makes it even more meaningful.”

For farmers, the humble cattle grid is far from simple it’s a vital tool that saves time, improves efficiency, and keeps livestock secure.

Tired of stopping to open gates? A precast cattle grid provides seamless access while ensuring animals stay safely contained.

Graham’s Precast has been serving farmers across Queensland and northern New South Wales for over four decades, and their products have become known for strength, reliability, and convenience.

Unlike traditional on-site pours or lightweight alternatives, precast grids are manufactured under controlled factory conditions to exacting standards.

This ensures consistent quality, reduces waste, and keeps installation time and costs to a minimum.

The company supplies a complete grid package, including the concrete base, abutments, and the steel grid top.

Each unit is engineered to handle heavy traffic and demanding agricultural conditions.

Graham’s Precast is also proud to hold a Structural Design Certificate for their grids an assurance to customers that the product is designed to last decades in all weather conditions.

“Concrete grids offer so many advantages over metal or cheaper substitutes,” Peter explained. “They don’t rust or corrode, they’re highly durable around heavy stock, and they’re built to industry standards. Farmers can put them in and know they’ll still be performing years down the track.”

From their Kyogle facility, Graham’s Precast services clients throughout the Northern Rivers and into Queensland. Their reputation for excellence extends beyond the quality of the product, with customer service and long-standing relationships just as important to the family business.

With Amber now contributing to the workshop and learning the trade, the Graham family story is set to continue into the next generation, one concrete cattle grid at a time.
