[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1238106, member: 6291"] Not sure your location but there is a company called Ranger Gate. You can walk in and talk right to the owner and design your pens. We put one set up on a lease than pins together with a sweep. On the next place I went in and had him build custom panels to fit my design. They are heavier panel and they clamp together. It also uses a bud box instead of the sweep. IMO the second set is 10x the pens. When you clamp it together it is stout. Then pin type will start walking on you if you don't attach them to posts. I hade #800 Brahman X bull calves going at it in the bud box while I sat on the top rail and watched. Another one trying to go air born and came down on top the panel. He just fell back in the pen. This is all just my opinion but its worth a look. Not sure how the other companies are but being able to sit down and design my pens was well worth it. Unless you are moving the panels multiple times a year... go with clamps. Its a lot more stout and is cheaper. After that second set I cant see building permanent pens again. [/QUOTE]
