[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1109710, member: 3162"] I like trap gates in the alley. A long cut gate for seperating and pushing into the pen. A medina gate in the pen with an cute gate on the end. Squeeze on the end of the chute. Once they are out of the squeeze, I am generally done and they go out the end of the squeeze. If not I can let them out the side of the squeeze into a different pen. You can trap 50 pairs in the main alley. Cut down to 8 or so and push them into the pen with the cut gate. Work those 8 and then go reload the pen and chutes. If you just need to work on one particular animal, you can trap her in the medina and release everything else. Then release her out of the medina and into the chute then squeeze if need be. Never paint yourself in the corner. Always design for future options/attachments/expansion. If you are in that barn, you are limited on space. Crazy calves can come out of calm cows. I am simply to old to fight them anymore. I use gates and a lot of them [/QUOTE]
