[QUOTE="oscarsteve, post: 1510587, member: 23995"] Yep, both of my catch pens employ the "bud box". And I really like them. Mine are approximately 12 ft. wide and 24 ft. long, It works very well with the cows. However, I found calves are a little more difficult to get through the hole. To solve that problem, I installed a second gate that hinges on the bud box side of the hole that I use as a sweep. Makes dealing with calves a lot easier. My other problem involves a couple of cows that are too tame. (I don't use a hot stick.) They prefer to get petted and don't see me as a danger. So, they are a little more difficult to keep moving. You might find this video interesting. My catch pen and box are very similar to this guy's pen.
