Subject: small portable corral

Here is a small portable corral made out of 3 gates and 6- 6'high x about 7-8 foot angle iron framed corncrib panels, less then $300 out of pocket expense about 14-15 head capacity. Where required for strength vertical angle irons were tubed with another angle iron to make a tube.

1st picture- entrance to the back of corral
2nd picture-back of corral towards entrance
3rd picture-center gate used to crowd cattle to load with, pipe across the top swings and pins on the (light side for loading, side without gates, is light enough to position by hand) section to the right folds around all the way to nest with back two sections and nests with the gate side in order to fit on a car hauler trailer, right hand section can move some in order to meet trailer for loading.
4th picture-all gates fold to one side to move
5th & 6th pictures -folded up ready to load
7th picture -light side folded up and brace pipe pinned in place to lift with
8th picture-from entrance/exit towards the back, back gate is 16 foot gate, swings and pins to lift on for loading, other 2 gates swing against it and chain to it for lifting
9th picture-view of back form the entrance/ exit
10th another folded view
11th technical error-repeat of 3rd pic

both sides for the loadout have chains on to chain it to the trailer to secure it for loading, entrance/exit gate has a 90 degree bend with about one foot tail to allow it to fold flat against then other two gates and to give a slight bit more space for loading, if cattle are facing wrong direction it allows them space to turn, but for for whatever reason they have faced the open trailer so far, depending on size of cattle my trailers hold 4-7 head in the fall, so 2-3 loads. I think I got this all correct, if not I am sure someone will point out any deficiencies so I can correct them:)

Note special thanks to my oldest daughter for the photography and getting then pictures attached to this, would not have happened without her help:)
