[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1306585, member: 19938"] A lot depends on the type of cows that you have. I had a solid wall, S shape alley and sweep. Powder River brand. It took up too much space and was over kill for my cows and calves. A lot of my cows are halter broke and would freeze up in the alley. I had a hard time working it on my own. (And yes, they did get a hot shot on occasion!) The system that I have now I can manage by myself and like it a lot better. I bought an open Powder River sweep and palp cage. I attached my own HD PR panels to it for the alley to the chute. It is considered "portable" but I would hate to move it. It is plenty heavy duty for my quiet Bulls. (The cows give me more trouble!) IDK but my cattle seem to stay calmer in the open system when they can see their calves especially. The main reason that I purchased PR is the dealers here in town. Other than that, I am sure that there are just as good of systems out there. My only complaint with this type of sweep is that they do have a corner to hang up in. In the future I would prefer a different design. [/QUOTE]
