Do you have a picture or drawing of it? Sounds like what we are thinking of doing.PPRM said:Nicky said:How do they work for semi loading?
I designed one for Andrew Clarke in Ellensburg. It was more of a "Parallel Box" due to the way the road and corals played out. They Love it. By Love it, I mean everyone thats been around it makes certain to tell me they do.
The biggest thing about these is you want flow in your cattle. If you have runaways or balling up cattle, it may work but isn't ideal. IMO, ideal is if cattle are used to responding to you as to going by or holding up. I like a system that creates cattle coming by you several times before an alley or load out.
The whole Bud Williams thing is pretty well predicated on moving or working cattle from the front. If your cattle are used to your dogs bringing them to you, you have a leg up on the whole thing IMO.
