12-Feet Wide Cattle Alley

A 12-feet wide cattle alley is ideal for a single person moving cattle on foot or horseback. When cattle are being moved down an alley a person standing in the middle of the alley with their arms outstretched can prevent cattle from turning back. If cattle do turn back a person can move to one side of the alley and be out of the way. A 10-foot wide alley is not sufficient space for the cattle to go by a person. A 14-foot wide alley is too wide to effectively prevent cattle from turning back.
