Corral System

[Justin Watkins]

Need some ideas on a corral system for my farm, size, layout, etc. need ideas of material, steel vs wood. I only have 30 head so it doesnt have to be huge.  I do need it to be economical but i do realize it takes money to make money. Thanks any help would be appreciated

It would depend on how many different pens would be needed.. Don't forget to maximize use of water bowls.. Share them between pens

Steel will last longer, and is less likely to break, but is more expensive. I'm sure you know that. Wood is much easier to repair, you can patch it easily with some rusty old nails and a hammer lol. We have started using free standing panels. They are expensive, $500 for a 30 foot one, but you can move them around if things don't work how you want, and you don't have to plant any posts. You can even hang gates on them.
