[QUOTE="Luckiamute, post: 1518312, member: 14286"] Just my 2 cents, but be sure all of your panels and gates are heavy duty and designed for cattle work. It's worth the extra up-front cost. Don't buy cheap just because it costs less -- it will cost you more in the long run. I work with a vet and yesterday we were working about 20 head of cattle, 3-month-old calves to 9-year-old cows. That herd destroyed -- and I mean destroyed -- 3 gates, 2 panels, and the owners nearly got seriously hurt. Most of the panels and gates were lightweight that weren't meant to be used to sort cattle and run them into a chute. And use smart cattle handling techniques. Low stress movement and systems are strongly encouraged. Good luck with your herd! [/QUOTE]
