I have been reading for years and love the valuable information I have gathered.
I would really like to hear opinions from people who have tub and alley set-ups. This has been the one topic I can not find much useful information on. I have read hundreds of articles and cant get much more than my this is the best. I am in the Houston area and am set on this type of set up. We have had wood for years and the design works well for us, just would like to get a metal set up. Does not need to be portable but any and all responses are appreciated. Really hope this can become a resource for others looking. I am hoping that several are at the Houston livestock show and rodeo. I probably should travel to one of the shows to actually be able to put my hands on several to decide. I can build really nice out of wood, but I really like the adjustable alleys and ability to open if a cow goes down. I know many different companies have different levels as well.
Information I am looking for would be
1. Make/Model
2. Pros/Cons
3. Comparisons between ones that you have used
4. Cost
Ultimately I would like to make a list from best to worst with cost which would allow people to make an informed decision.
With any luck this has already been done somewhere, I just cant find it. links are welcome as well.
Thanks for any help!
