My New Corral.....Blueprints, Walk Through and Working Cattle.

Here is an overview of my new corral. Blueprints, walk through, and videos of us working our first cows.

Great job.. Well thought out.. Very functional without the need for a bank full of money.

Lots, of good ideas, but I hope you have gentle cattle. Cattle will easily destroy those cattle panels. Either replace with heavier panels as needed or more lumber. You’ll figure it out, I’ve worked them on the end of a rope and about anything beats that. I’m 74 years old, and it only takes a lifetime to get things the way you want them, and then there about due for replacement.

This is one of the better explanation of a cattle chute for loading and corralling cattle. Thank you!

[shannonchase]

You better put some boards on the inside of your sweep cause those wire panels ain't gonna hold when you start crowding cows up in there! Especially being nailed on the other side of the post!

[SongbirdRanch]

The sorting place is very good. Nice flow! Thanks!

[markholloway]

Very nice set up! I’m working on mine now and I got some great ideas from your video! Thanks!

[jms_wttrs]

You provided good and more helpful information than you think - thanks a bundle!

You have set up a great cattle handling facility for a lot less than buying store bought items. A few revisions over time will make it easier on you. Thanks for your time putting this together!

If I could make a suggestion, mount a chain on one side so you can go over their nose and keep that head under control while tagging

Nice job. Your description of how cows react is spot on. Corral looks very functional. Nice job.

This is the most useful of videos... I can’t afford what some of these people do! I have 6 dexters/midsize jerseys...love this video, thanks for your thoroughness. I am new to cows but not to animals, these was great(-:

Great work on this project. Seems like a very thorough design.

[garyglenda]

The explanations for the ideas used to develop the design can help to show how other applications or modifications might benefit from a similar plan. Very well considered and presented. I was concerned the wire mesh could catch an animals leg and trip it among other cattle. Not sure if weather is a problem but a roof over the crush and work station could save mud and dust around the vet gear and make the area better for stock and workers. If future AI is a possibility the cleaner area would help. Fabricating a head movement limit/ restraint to prevent excessive upward thrusts might make the ear tagging and drenching etc. safer on larger animals.

Thanks a bunch this was very helpful I been trying to find some info on making my own so started drawling it up off what I know ... Really like the work area and fold down sides

[bee-u-tifuladventures]

Very cool! I originally subscribed to this channel for the bee content. I really appreciate the extra info about farming too. I am digging the corral. Well thought out and very useful. :-)

[metalkingtohorses]

very thoughtful, I'm working on stuff for my horses pasture

[ChrisJones-mwcn]

Curious how this held up? You must have pretty tame cows. Mine would eat that for breakfast.

[DennysCountryLife]

Thanks for sharing man. Much appreciated! Nicely done

[FarmandRanchHacks]

Good stuff, we are in the process of building a set on our channel.

[tomsales]

looks like a good design, but i don't think those panels will hold up
