[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1850124, member: 498"] This is the one at B's corral it gets thousands of head loaded out through it every year. This set up sure isn't new and has seen better days but functions just fine. If you had posted this last Wednesday I could have taken a picture with a semi at that loading dock and me backing my trailer in along side it. The trailer load is to the left of the post with the red reflector. Between that and the gate into the scale. The man gate to the right of that reflector only swings in. No matter how hard a cow were to hit it the gate ain't coming open. [ATTACH type="full"]43920[/ATTACH] More of a close up of the trailer load. The gate attached to the post at the end of the scale is used to crowd them into which ever way they are going. [ATTACH type="full"]43921[/ATTACH] The gate to the left can be swung like it is to head critters to the trailer. Or swung the other way to head them to the semi ramp. Or if the man gate is left closed on the ramp cattle are pushed down the crowd alley on the far left which leads to the squeeze chute. [ATTACH type="full"]43922[/ATTACH] The front posts look to be bridge timers. 8 by 12 or 16. The other posts are RR ties. The cross supports for the decking are 3 by 10's that are bolted to the posts.
