[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 685150, member: 7509"] Knersie, I have to go this morning. I looked for a good overall picture but don't have one of the final setup. I'll try to make a sketch and put it on in the next couple days. There is a gate along the left side of the lane where the cows enter that swings across to close the entrance. The gate visible along the far wall swings towards the tub. there are a couple other gates to the left so I can gradually reduce the size of the space leading to the tub to group animals. This way I can get all of the bull calves in one group for cutting. The tub entrance is around to the left rear, there is one alley section shown between the sliding solid doors (don't use the bar grate in the air). The scale is under the alley. Palp cage on the back of the Formost chute is visible, then coming out of the chute there is a spring loaded swinging wooden gate that can send them either back into the bunk area, into the field on the left or into the loading ramp and trailer. I work everything from the left (opposite) side of the chute in the picture once I get the gate closed. The main thing I am trying to show above is the cattle coming into the corral and almost self-working because they are familiar with the corral and system. They associate the corral with good things (treats). After working days I try to give them a little extra grain in the corral later that day and they soon forget any unpleasantness and come right back again. Jim [/QUOTE]
