[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1025541, member: 694"] Well I have had some mighty rank gal's in it that have hit ever side and bounced off. That panel is welded up and down top and bottom of that drill stem, it is stout as the whole pen is a system welded to itself. All the gates that have real stress put on them are super heavy duty or have sheet steel welded over it. The cutting gates are cheap and easily replaced with better they have never been an issue as I am alway's giving the cow someplace to move away from the pressure. The pen actually worked better when I had enough cow's to fill it. To big for what the resident girl's. Work's better when i pen in the fall to sell the oportunity gal's and calves. I have had some try to jump it none have been successful so far there is alway's a first for everything. The reason I built it 15 year's ago got tired of the Tiger's tearing up the wood pen's. Had tigers go over the wood pen's the same height get on top of the wood and break a board, haven't had one break that drill stem yet. Actually opening the pen's up calmed the tiger's down versus the old style corral. I thought about putting drill stem cross members in between when I first built it, after the girl's tested it decided didn't need it. I was running some really rough stuff when I was younger. I used not walk in the pen without a 45 ACP and I liked em rank. There has some been some rank salebarn girl's through the year's and that is where they stay until they calm down, if they don't they spend the week in there for a return trip to the barn. There is not a cow alive that can break the hinges, chain's or latches welded through that drill stem. Never had a problem with them in the chute but is 28" wide and tight wish I had made it 26" to pull hair off when they come down it. I have worried some over that myself, I have steel purlin's stacked up to rework that for year's . Did have one flip over and get upsidedown in the chute now that was fun. Here are the chain hook's welded to the drill stem the gates have case hardened logging chain welded to them.
