[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1072561, member: 17764"] Pen? Is this solid board pen to six feet high with a rail on top making it about seven feet or simply a wire enclosure? We run wire everywhere but the handling system - pressure can stir up even the quietest animal. Solid walls keeps them in - the rail on top of the board fence prevents the boards from breaking if they try to go over - the system has to be solid enough to withstand a 2000 pound animal trying to get over. Wire pens are simply an accident waiting to happen. As for catching the animals - never put the water in an area they can freely access - put it in the handling system. They can go without food for days but need water at all times. When they come in - which they will do every day - you catch them. Good luck to you Bez [/QUOTE]
