First of all I would like to say thank you in advance for the opinions, this is my first post but have spend many a night reading and gaining knowledge from y'alls experience. Here is the layout I have settled on, it will be made with pipe and welded throughout. The plan is cows will come into the holding area and funneled (smaller groups) into the curved alley then backed up into the diagonal holding pens, I will continue that until all are held in the holding pens. After that, push each group in the pens into the curved crowding pen and through the funnel (8 or less at a time) into the single file alley and squeeze chute. From my experience I have found cattle flow much better in curved races and will congregate at funnels so use them to your benefit. For those that may ask it will be 66" or 72" high in the high pressure areas and 2 7/8" post will be on 6' 6" centers.
