We use the adjustable WW Livestock panels that adjust in width. We have a series of holding pens with gates at each end, then the lane panels at the end of the last pen. The last pen is funneled down to the max lane panel width. The idea is to have the back panels attached to your holding pen at the widest they will go and narrow the lane width as you get closer to the head catcher. We have the WW spring loaded stop bars, but they are kinda a headache. Just sliding a simple 2x4 or steel pipe at each panel in behind them as they move forward seems to work the best. Sometimes the smaller calves aren't strong enough to push the spring loaded bar forward. Our WW head catcher is actually inside a holding pen that is attached to the first holding pen so that if one did happen to get through without being caught, we could open the gate and run it back through the series of pens again instead of it going out into open pasture. We also have a 12V set of scales in the lane at the last panel before the head catcher.
We have modified a few things along the way, but now we have it to where one person can work the cattle or weigh them and load them in the trailer.
The main thing is to make the lane narrow so they can't get turned around once started down it
The WW sweeper tub setup is top notch, but you will pay for it.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
