That's gonna be a problem. Cows and calves using the same alley.
36 inch is about right for cows. Even the largest of your cows (or a bull) can get through. Narrow enough a smaller cow can't get turned around, although a smaller one might try it.
Calves are gonna be a problem. It'd take one aweful big calf to not be able to get turned around in a 36 inch alley. And for baby calves, it's got to be narrowed clear up to about a foot, foot and half for them to not be able to get turned around.
If your talking, only big calves (such as yearlings), you might be able to narrow the suggested 36 inches up just a tad, and use alley way for both. But if you are talking smaller calves, where you set it at for your cows, is simply not going to work very well for smaller calves. If that's the case, you better make one side permanent, and the other side adjustable. Or make both sides permanent at 36 inch, and plan on narrowing that up for calves by using a second removable panel on the inside.
If your not talking about running alot of head through it, you might be better off just to set things up for cows, and just hassel your way through it, when using same set up for the calves (meaning, I wouldn't bother to narrow it up, for only 2 or 3 calves).

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
