Cattle pen drawings and humane corral plans can be seen below. These are drawings of actual facilities. A few go back in time almost 20 years. I tried to give several examples of different designs to show the flexibility of custom planning. Good cattle handling and facilities are possible even in restricted spaces. Deep grooved concrete floors, solid sided fences, and a circular flow for the cattle are principles that can be part of most handling systems. Any of these plans can be modified to meet your specific needs. Feel free to contact me with any inquiries.

R-1 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsThis facility was designed for a rancher in southern Colorado. The objective was to tie the handling facility into an existing calving barn, used during extremely cold weather with a calf pulling station inside, and a clean veterinary room for medicines and records. The site was long and narrow so the loading chutes were turned for a large truck to back into. The platform scale is offset from the alley.
-
R-2 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsThis restricted space design has extended length loading chutes adapted to this site. In the hot climate of south Texas, the covered work area is mostly for shade and has open sides for ventilation. Two large and one small sorting pen makes this an ideal facility for 150 to 200 head of cattle.
-
R-3 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsThis high speed facility located on a remote ranch has capacity to hold 600 calves on shipping day, and load the calves in under 2 hours. Pens hold one, or two truckloads. A small covered work area over a hydraulic squeeze chute has room for treatment equipment and other necessities. Two main sort pens plus one pen in the center allows for all necessary sorting.
-
R-4 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsAn Angus breeder in Kentucky needed a facility allowing him to manage his cattle alone when necessary. Handling facility, loading chutes, single file chute, and three sorting pens made up the handling area, and the pens on the opposite side are for spring calving and sick cow pens. Cattle management was possible for the rancher in this small facility.
-
R-5 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsThe best practice with bison is to move one animal at a time through the single file chute directly into the squeeze chute without stopping. Work the animals quickly and let them go. A stretch cloth to cover the eyes when the bison are in the squeeze chute can help keep them calm. Cattle and bison design principles are similar, but with higher fence and a shorter single file chute. Best practice is to train bison for handling making the necessary husbandry experience less stressful.
-
R-6 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsIn this plan a standard Bud Box system has been modified to include a funnel into single file rather than an abrupt entrance. The Bud Box holds about five cows, and the single file chute holds 5 cows. Best practice is to only put as many cattle in the box as fits in the single file chute.
-
R-7 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsA very small system on this cow-calf operation in Canada was built inside a 40′ x 60′ insulated building and features a calf table for ear tags, branding, and castrating calves. First cows and calves are sorted and the cows are worked in the squeeze chute. Next, the calves are brought up separately. Never crowd calves and calves in confined spaces.
-
R-8 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsThe design is a basic feed yard design, with a couple of exceptions. The solid fences are 66 inches high, rather than the 60 inch high standard fence. The Holstein replacement heifers raised in this yard are taller than beef cattle and look over the top of the fences. A short video of this facility is on the home page.
-
R-9 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsA large barn measuring 116′ x 168′ covers this facility for shade in hot, humid Louisiana. One small, and two larger pens allowing sorting from the squeeze chute. After sorting, cattle are moved from the sorting pens into the holding pens for shipping. The roof columns in the barn are in line with the fences to prevent injuries from cattle hitting the columns.
-
R-10 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsThis popular plan includes a main cattle alley for sorting before cattle enter the curved alley leading to crowd pen. Loading chutes are connected to the crowd pen leading to the squeeze chute. Two sort pens out of the squeeze chute, or access to a calving barn make up the working area. On the top side is two pens with feed bunk and concrete apron. These pens can be used for sick pens, or calving pens.
-
R-11 Drawing
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsOn this successful purebred cow/calf operation, the rancher understood the importance of good sanitation during AI and embryo transfer procedures. A large calving pasture outside the system kept cows close for observation during calving season. The single pens are used for “shy” cows for calving, or those who may have problems. Sort pens are used to separate cows in different stages of gestation.

R-17 Drawing (New)
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsNew- With the advent of ivermectin paste wormers in the 1970s. A dip vat is a narrow tank filled with a pesticide solution cattle swim through. Effective but dangerous. Careful handling and proper design were necessary to prevent cattle from drowning in dip vats. New designs make dip vat safer.
This large ranch on the Rio Grande in Texas combined its processing and sorting system with the dip vat. Cattle can circulate from either facility through three-way gate systems, the most effective way to design intersections and prevent 90-degree turns.
-
R-18 Drawing (New)

$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsNew- A Bud Box is an effective handling system with certain limitations. A Bud Box is an economical alternative on ranches where speed is not a priority and the cattle are generally calm. Five cattle are the maximum number at one time in the box. Those five go into the single-file chute together, leaving no strays behind.

$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsNew- Large feed yards require facilities to handle large numbers of cattle for procedures that only take seconds. This high-speed feed yard facility designed to re-implant 1000 cattle in four hours and ship five trucks per hour is ideal for a large mid-west feeder. The 35-foot radius on the wide curved lane is the key to this speed. Keeping one-hundred cattle close to the single-file chute allows handlers to keep the single-file chute full and cattle moving steadily forward. The curved lane holds two truckloads of cattle close to the crowd pen for fast shipping or processing.
-
F-9 Drawing (New)
$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsNew- Speed comes from moving controlled groups that keep the curved lane and single-file chute full of cattle with no gaps in the line.

$19.99 – $39.99 Select optionsNew- Cattle are the main species handled in this medium-sized meat plant, with sheep and pigs processed one day per week.
Construction needs must accommodate the largest animal processed in a multi-species facility, and specific adaptations for the smaller species are essential. Modify cattle fencing by attaching mesh wire halfway up the fence and pushing the small animals from behind, preventing them from turning around in the single-file chute. The small narrow single file-chute completes the journey to the knock box.

The drawings on this page are actual facilities. A few go back in time almost 20 years. I tried to give several examples of different designs to show the flexibility of custom planning. Good cattle handling and facilities are possible even in restricted spaces. Deep grooved concrete floors, solid sided fences, and a circular flow for the cattle are principles that can be part of most handling systems. Any of these plans can be modified to meet your specific needs. Feel free to contact me with any inquiries.
