[QUOTE="7greenhorn, post: 957392, member: 19447"] Well my username says it all... I'm new to cattle and I'm trying to build a corral for my animals. I'm farming yaks and I'm aiming at building something to manage a moderately small herd. I currently have 54 head and would like to stay at around 70-75 head total. I tried studying as much as I could and took my best stab at constructing a moderately sized corral that would best suit me but in a small package. I'm not trying to eat up alot of a 14 acre pasture it will reside in. I tried to make it as non 90 degree through the runs and as clockwise as possible minus the meat market pen which should rarely hold over 1 animal at a time. It may look a little funky sitting off to the side of the squeeze chute but the way of my thinking was to utilize the right side exit of the squeeze chute to get them in there. That pen can still be used for combing fiber and maintenance on other animals because I'd probably run them through during market times seperate from vaccinations etc. I know when they leave the squeeze chute if they aren't going directly back to the pasture it's different because the animals need to go left to their respective holding pens for sorting purposes. It's 8' wide so I was hoping that'd be enough room for them to turn and go into the direction they came from and get scooped into either pen A or pen B... Here's the link... saved it as bmp so you can get a good view of it. [img]http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy110/p_raddy/Corral/corralplan.jpg[/img] The preview looks like it cuts off the other side so maybe by going to the link directly it may show the whole thing in it's entirety... [url=http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy110/p_raddy/Corral/corralplan.jpg]http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy11 ... alplan.jpg[/url] Well what do you guys think? Will it work? I feel confident the animals would run through it pretty well but wanted to get second opinions from seasoned guys before I start breaking ground. Hoping to get it in before the winter. I need a better way to get these animals shots and wormed :( Really hoping I did a good thing here so I don't need to redesign :? Thanks in advance!!! [/QUOTE]
