good ideas,wouldnt last one day on my place but good for tame cattle.LOL just fooling, but I got to have something more substantial than hog panels. they do work for keeping calves from getting their head between the rails. best pen ive seen or used was made out of hyway gaurd rails. solid row of them up four foot high ,a gap about six inches,another row,a gap about 10 inches then another on top!loading/working chute needs to be at least 7,8ft high is better,built solid with a walk rail around ouside. braced accross the top at each set of post and preferably with a top on it so cattle will see light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.crowd gates to work cattle ,they will stomp all over a person.No reason to even get in the pen with them if its built right.where you work cattle from makes all the difference in the world.get right behind one and you better like being kicked in the shins,get above and behind one and you can make it go anywhere. Of course this is if your really working come what may cattle,bulls,calves and all. I had one bull that would load anywhere day or night if you just opened the back of the trailer.shot another that would hunt you down if you got out of the truck and he just wasnt blowing snot,shot him between the eyes from the drivers seat and made hamburger.. a whole lot depends on the cattle as to what type of pens you need. you got a thousand head, and a weekend to work them in you had better have a pen you can push them thru. a few head thats used to being walked around just about anything will work, trouble is those are often the ones that hurt you.cant never have enough pen in my opinion.
