We never thought we'd get it done!

What happens here

The curved panels of the sweep system are attached next, forming a circular pen that funnels cattle into the alleyway. The tractor with the Bigtoolrack is again used to position these heavy panels. Connector rods are used to secure the sweep system panels to each other and to the end of the alleyway. The presenter explains that the sweep system is designed to gradually crowd cattle in a circular motion, reducing their ability to turn back, and guiding them into the narrower alleyway section. He highlights the importance of the sheeted panels in creating a calming 'cave' effect, which minimizes distractions and reduces stress for the animals during handling.

Goal: Construct the circular sweep pen to funnel cattle into the alleyway.
