[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 886824, member: 3162"] Longer chutes feeding in to that pen will help. Don't know how many head you are running. Funnel down to 20 feet and use a 20 foot cut gate to sweep with and to sort with. You need to get the calves seperated or else you will get one injured or killed one day. A cut gate with a seperate holding pen sure makes sorting easy. Your cows may be gentle now but they can turn into monsters when they calve. Anything can set one off. I'd put that hay storage gate system on the opposite side. It looks like you have to go through the gates that secure it, plus the gates going in to the pens. It doesn't look like it would hold much hay. I've got a long alley feeding into my working pens. 7 gates come off of it. The cows go down that alley every time we change pastures. It sure makes it easier to trap them when it is time to work them. I can set up a medina gate pretty much anywhere with my portable unit. Then again some folks don't have pens, gates, chutes, or even a medina. You are way ahead of them. [/QUOTE]
