[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1767934, member: 3162"] I used to split them up. Big calves with the cows. Small calves in a side pen. Bulls isolated in a medina until I finished the cows. Run the cows and large calves thru first since that was always the biggest group and usually over 100. Calves next so that the momma cows hanging around would clear out. Bulls last. My portable working pen has a self catch. You have to get them moving hard into it for it to work properly. It does swing both ways so if I catch one by the hips its no big deal. But I prefer a squeeze since it is more adjustable for cattle sizing. In my childhood all we ever had was medina hinged pens. We made it just fine. Worked hundreds of my dad's and grandad's cows in medinas. [/QUOTE]
