This book contains the best corral layouts Dr. Grandin has developed during the last fifteen years. Many of these designs have been constructed on ranches and feedlots all over the U.S. and Canada. There are layouts for both small and large operations. For ranchers on a tight budget, there are economical designs which provide good sorting capabilities. A lack of pens and alleys for sorting is a major problem in some corral systems. Most of the designs have curved lanes, and round holding pens to facilitate handling. The two articles in this book explain the principles of cattle behavior and how it relates to corral design. In the back of the book there are details for gates, loading ramp, V chute and round crowd pen.
