[QUOTE="shaz, post: 957614, member: 13738"] I run 100hd but will get up to 150 next year. I really meant holding pens. It's not really how many head but what your trying to accomplish. More pens=more flexible. You may want to seperate cows and calves - worked vs unworked, keeper heifers vs everything else and cull cows. Mine are 16x36 and 16x24. I have 2 other pens, one is 12x60 the other is unkown? Overall I like your design but you'll run yourself to death in a 25x25 area unless your moving a big group and it just never works that way. I spend most of my time seperating cows-not actually working them. The other thing I or someone else should have mentioned is that you need a funnel into the pen. I don't have a clear picture for how you catch your cows so I guess you have feed bunks close to the pen?? The real trick is catching ALL the cows and calves in the first place. [/QUOTE]
