[QUOTE="TColt, post: 1155274, member: 22268"] Very! I want to be able to hook up to them and pull them down the highway 60 miles at 65 mph like a do my stock trailer. I want to be able to have the full pen set up, by myself, in 30 min or less. I also want them to be big enough that a 2200 lbs bull on the hook doesn't hit the back of the pens and come back over the top of my horse and I before I get the trap shut. I also want to be able to fold them up, hook up to the truck, and go home within 30 min when I am done. I have panels and all that stuff, Im talking portable pens. Panels won't hold a lot of the stuff I am trying to catch, and they take too long to set up and take down, along with loading and unloading them. I want them to be a set of working pens on wheels. I also want to use these to process my own yearlings and cows. I don't have one big place and I am not going to build pens on lease places. It would probably cost almost as much to build a set of permanent working pens on my home place as it would to buy a set of portables, and I don't run enough of my own cows to justify building pens at my house (my house in an investment, not a forever place). I do work enough cows to justify buying pens I can haul. A lot of people don't have pens big enough to even put all their cattle in, let alone a working head gate or chute to work their stuff with. This turns 3 hour jobs into one or two full days, and when your getting day wages, it is the same pay weather it is a few hours or sun up till sun down. All in all, these would be used for other peoples cattle more than mine, but I would still have them for myself when I needed them rather than hauling to a neighbor. I think with the money that can be made with them, the time that can be saved with them, the fuel that can be saved with them, the other equipment (like panels) that can be saved with them, and the fact that I wont have to build pens at my house, they are a good investment for me. Im just trying to figure out which ones to buy. If I can haul two horses in that "front horse option" of the OK Corral, that may be the deciding factor for me, I will just have to do some research. I appreciate everyones help! [/QUOTE]
