Small Farm Planning: Setting up simple working pen for the cattle chute

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

With the sweep system and squeeze chute in place, proceed to assemble temporary corral panels to create a larger holding area. Use a tractor with a front-end loader to move bundles of heavy-duty, galvanized steel corral panels. These panels are specifically designed with an extra bottom bar to prevent cattle from getting their heads stuck underneath. Position the panels to form a large square pen, ensuring they are securely joined using the built-in pin and loop connectors. This pen will temporarily hold multiple cattle before they are guided into the sweep system. Consider adding T-posts for extra stability.

Goal: Using a tractor to transport, the crew assembles temporary corral panels around the sweep system to create a larger holding area for cattle before they enter the handling system.

Tools and materials

  • T-posts
  • TYM Tractor (TYM 1104 model)

little bit of sweet feed in a feed bin and they'll come right in shut the gate behind them and we'll be able to handle them brad [Music] it's cold in that tractor that's why it's bad dude let's get these unbundled now let's talk a little bit about this fencing right here so when i first started building fencing here on the farm i went ahead and bought up a ton of materials and man i'm super glad that i did that so i've got enough wire and pipe to basically finish the entire farm fencing and gates so i went on and bought all my gates all my pipe all my wire will slowly be constructing fencing around about another 55 acres here on the farm so man pat myself on the back i had no idea prices were going to go up like they were but they they really have now let's talk about the cattle panels that we have right here these are a little different cattle panel than you might have seen cows will get their heads up underneath these so we got the extra bar right here is a heavy duty bar so that the cows won't get their head up underneath this like a bull and flip it up now a cow will and can get its head stuck in right here so we've really got to think about that and you really really need to watch your cattle if you're putting them in a cattle panel like this and consider putting a t-post right here so that the cow can't get its head in there either a t-post or even just a simple step in post will help keep a cows from head from getting in there and this whole bundle is upside down you can see it's been sitting for quite some time it's got some grass and even trees growing up in it [Music] yeah foreign all right guys super super simple man so all i did was basically make one big square pin right here and we won't need to sort any animals out this year and if we do need to sort any animals out we can add a big square pin on to right here this will serve as my gate opening once i get the cows in there i'll pull this section back to here and all the cows will be contained then we'll run them right through the squeeze chute system the sweep system man super super happy these cattle panels are an easy way to handle this i'm gonna do a little head scratching to see if there's a way if i need to separate a cow i can separate it we've got five more panels which is pretty much not enough to do anything with other than maybe expand this just a little bit cannot wait to run the cows through the system show you guys how this tartar farm and ranch sweep system works it's going to…
