[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 1268541, member: 8829"] Alot of the different answers come from different sizes of herds a d the neccesity to move them different distances If moving 50 hd of cows a 1/4 mile 20 ft is fine but if moving 200 pus pairs 1/2 mile or more a wider alley works better as you can keep the cows more bunched up and not as strung out and in the narrower alley they will feel more restricted and try and turn back and they will also put more pressure on the alley fences You have to build it to suit your operation I have built several and never rebuilt one because it was to wide but have rebuilt several for people that were to narrow Cattle will flow better where they feel the least restricted [/QUOTE]
