Here's a trick Loren Smart taught me regarding sheeted tubs and Alleys. Loren is a pretty big Select sires guy out of Wallsburg Utah.

Out of the tub, put in about 4-5 foot of open rail to start the alley. I usually design in a cutout gate that's 1/2 sheeted so you can go to a loading ramp or calf table for instance.

If the tub is sheeted and so is the alley, cattle often can't see the contrast to find the alley or escape. Having the open rail lets them see daylight and they will go to check it our. That one trick will really improve the flow of cattle from the tub to the Alley.

BTW, that tub and alley you bought... I've seen a lot of them that have lasted a long while. Good buy!


Small world. Loren is my select rep. Or he was but has kinda retired and his son has taken over.

I like Loren a lot. We use his place to do our hands on portion of our dealer training. In turn, he gets to use our equipment and has sold a good amount of it.

Wallsburg is pretty country. Wallsburgers are a nice topping to the trip there ;-}
Loren was the one that sold us our chute gave us a heck of a good deal because they didn't want to haul the chute back down to the warehouse next time you come up to demo something let me know I am only 15 miles from Lorens house
