I am working hard to bring the old farm up to working order, and have studied a lot of plans for handling pens. Anyone have any helpful hints, plans or sites to suggest?
Thanks!!

Does it work well one man?

The neighbors used that plan, but enlarged it for large groups of cattle. They have trouble getting animals into the chute/squeeze area as they've got alot of room to run around.
About the only real improvement that could be made to that plan is a sliding gate at the entry of the chute. Nice for Ivomecing to be able to fill the chute and work down it. Also round off the two square corners.
