[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1033681, member: 6291"] Wouldn't that be tough to regulate. If you have a group of mixed head and you want to sort them, it seems like it would be tough for the guy working the sorting gate. We just put a set of portable pens up at a lease place and out of the sweep we have like 20', a slide gate, then 8' and then the sorting gates. The idea was you could sweep several cows in to the long part and secure them. Then you could regulate what you sent to the sorting gate with the slide gate. If you are by youself you can see whats on deck. Set the sorting gate. Let that 1 or 2 go thru with the slide gate. Close it back. Switch your sorting gate. Let the next one go. So on and so on. If you have several helpers every one mans a stations and get after it. The person on the sorthing gate has some one regulating with the slide gate what is coming at them. They also have an 8' buffer. [/QUOTE]
