New cattle handling shed

[Pan mixer]

Few ideas here guys

Quite a lot of French spoken though, though trip through the system with the beast wearing a camera (that could be in quick fix and bodge the way that was held on) was interesting though.

They hand a lot of personnel! Highlights for me were The adjustable width panels and backing gate.

Well three and a bit years and three crushes later finally got round to putting a bit of a shedding gate up to either turn them into the holding pen or back to the main shed.

Do you have any drawings with dimensions on it showing the size of the gates and pens?

To be honest when we made it we didn’t use any drawings or anything but I’ll put something together tomorrow

The main dimensions I would be interested in is the width of the pen on the right, from the upright post in the roof to the concrete panel.
What is the outside width of the crush and what is the distance from the crush to the gates on both sides.

I like the way you have the crush in the centre with access to both sides. I want to do the same but will do it without the pen next the open side.

Here you go they’re all internal widths and all the panels are 1.8m high any more questions just shout.

That's perfect, thank you.
Do you have enough room either side of the crush to work, would you be able to work on the side 1m wide or is it to narrow

There is enough room to work but only time we really go that side is to clip, it would be better with moor room especially with this crush with full doors, out of choice we’d have built the shed bigger but this was as wide as we could go in the space available.
