[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1809686, member: 498"] I am a huge fan of curves or bends in the alley. B's place that gets thousands of head through in a year has a long alley with 4 pens to sort into along the alley. The end is about a 75 degree turn and you are into the trailer. There is actually 2 crowd gates which don't allow the cows to turn back. I helped a neighbor haul a bunch of cows a year ago. They had a straight too wide alley to the trailers. They were having a tough time getting the cows to load. The cows could see the dead end from 100 feet back. There were some panels there I suggested that we set them up to make a corner. We did that and the cows loaded much easier. Second and third generation on this ranch just doing it the way grandpa always did it. They commented multiple times on how much better this worked.
