[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1130867, member: 694"] Pen is made of drill stem with 4 inch by 4 inch panel welded in. The entire pen is an octagon welded together drill stem on top and bottom with the vertical runs concreted in the ground. It has held some wild Tigers in it's day. I have had them try and jump it and bounce off every side, had one or two put me out as well. I found the Brimmer girls are a lot easier to work when they can see and don't feel trapped. I have replaced a few of the cheap sorting gates through the years. As I aged I have opted for calmer cattle due to a mental short I enjoyed the wilder ones when I was younger. The way the pen is designed you are always behind a gate when working the cattle. As far as loading chute it is designed to load out three different ways, you can back up to the head gate and load through it. The head gate is also hinged to open for trailers that have one swinging gate. To the right of the head gate the pen makes a vee that I back my gooseneck up to and swing both gates open. The cattle can be loaded through an angle chute using a gate to making the chute. I left part of the old pen and you can drive through like at the salebarn to unload. Maybe you can see what I am talking about in the picture.
