A system and method of loading and transporting a mobile livestock yard 101. A trailer 100 is provided comprising a chassis 114, a bed 113 arranged to tip relative to the chassis, an axle 116, two wheels 117, and a winch 119 arranged to apply a pulling force substantially parallel to the bed when in a tipped position (Figure 2). The mobile livestock yard 101 is loaded by raising the bed into a tipped position; drawing the mobile livestock yard 101 by a first end 103 onto the bed 113 wherein the mobile livestock yard 101 is caused to pivot about an opposing second end 104 and lowering the bed 113 from the tipped position wherein the bed 113 lifts the second end 104as the bed 113 lowers. Optionally the mobile livestock yard may be loaded onto a shed and may be secured to the bed 113 once it has been drawn to an upper end (200, Figure 2). A wheel 108 may be provided to the first end 103 of the mobile livestock yard which supports the first end 103 on the raised bed 113 so that the front end 103 rolls up the raised bed 113.
