[QUOTE="LocustDaleCattleCompany, post: 1687098, member: 24074"] Like Brute23 mentioned the alley heading to the crowding tub will be too big for cattle to not turn around some and make them balk at the gate on one side occasionally. Only give them 10-12’ total like the alley on the opposite side. That turn from the load up alley into the 180 degree tub will be tough for them as well. Do you already have the tub? If so it’s a mute point if not I’d look at a 90 degree tub or a bud box so the cattle can walk directly into the tub/box instead of having to make a 45 or 90 degree turn to get into it. Having two holding pens before the crowding tub is nice because you can load up one group and have two groups behind ready to load which is nice. We have a similar setup on our farm and it works great. [/QUOTE]
