[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1103081, member: 18945"] Mighty fine looking tub!! But, at $9150 for the squeeze and tub, and you still have to build or buy a holding pen and sorting area. It's overkill for the acreage involved--imo. Gonna be hard to recoup that new capital investment back. As stated above, twenty five good tube panels and a squeeze/head gate is the way to go if you want to do it economically (yes, I know--it isn't your $$ being spent) I can pretty easily handle 20 pairs in mine. Consists of about 22 panels, with a sweep, holding pen, alley, load chute, sort gate, and separate working chute/hdgate, and a few gates and I don't have $6K in it. Not truly portable (like the ones you see where every item is stackable and movable on a trailer in one trip) But if I wanted to disassemble it and move it down the road, I could do it in one day and have it back up and running.
