Beef cattle handling facilities by Dr F A Thrift
Beef cattle handling facilities can be simple and affordable yet efficient. Location matters and facilities should accommodate the largest anticipated herd, with ~20 square feet per mature animal and expandable design. Use lumber or woven wire with bracing, ensure gates resist sagging, and size single file chutes to 26–28 inches inside width, with sloped sides for calves and older cattle.
