The video "Cattle Corral Designs for Efficiency, Safety, and Economy" that we put together here at Dickinson Cattle Co 3 years ago. It provides practical insights into designing cattle corrals that prioritize safety, animal welfare, and economic viability. It highlights the significance of curved chutes and alleys to encourage cattle movement by taking advantage of their natural instincts, reducing stress and injuries. Proper gate placement and adjustable panels are emphasized for facilitating efficient sorting and handling.
The design principles discussed aim to minimize labor requirements and ensure smooth operations, using durable materials and cost-effective solutions. These strategies improve workflow and animal behavior management, benefiting both small-scale and large-scale cattle operations. For detailed design guidance, you can watch the video
