[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1433988, member: 3162"] I would take out the funnel and just use a medina gate where the 12 foot crowding gate is. They will try to turn around in that funnel. The cut gate suggested is good. The sliding or guillotine type gate is good too. I do have a recapture pen and have had to use it once or twice so that is also a good suggestion. It relieves a lot of panic knowing that its not a big deal when you mess up. There is nothing wrong with your design. But if you start working large quantities, there will be a time element. Working 4 or 5 cows is way different than working 80 to 100. Even if you just double up, you're gonna think about saving time, especially in the heat. The more stress you put on cows, the more they are susceptible to illness. [/QUOTE]
