[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1130425, member: 6897"] Sort of scribbled this out and it is not to scale but used this set of working pens on the dairy. Do not judge the utility of the pens by my poor artwork. :lol2: All the gates swung both directions and not only locked the pen they connected but two gates could be opened and combine into a complete side to an otherwise open pen. Every exit gate was a potential loading or unloading area with. The smaller pens were used to keep cattle that would need a repeat treatment of any kind and/or a cow and new calf. All pens had waterers and the working area, chute and headgate were covered and lighted. All built out of cross ties and 1x6 oak treated lumber. May give you an idea. Does not have to be this large but this will accomodate 100+ mature cows at any one time.
