[QUOTE="lazyhill, post: 27371, member: 256"] The system that Bill describes is the one that I have seen to work the best. As far as the alleys that lead to the "chute" area. I have seen them vary from 8 foot wide to 4 foot wide. If they are wide, you will need multiple gates for the cattle work their way through. This ensures that they keep going the direction you need them to. If the alley is narrower, you will need some sort of protection along the side (as you decribed) to keep them from getting their horns caught up. At all cost, you want to avoid broken tips. [/QUOTE]
