After testing the Arrowquip portable corral in the field its time to incorporate it into our existing corral system. For the first time ever, the corrals will soon be working at 100% with the help of a new chute, alley and bud flow system.

Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.

Nice system, safety for everyone is the key

@sherischneider2672 4 жыл бұрын

I had this thought as I was watching you work the head gate on the old chute. Those old chutes that were often made without zerks will respond well to a grease needle and Tri Flow spray lube. That is particularly necessary if you need to use the self catch head safely and with less noise. That is also a good Idea for your calving head gate. We often forget about this maintenance until we suddenly need the chute and are working alone. That can put our safety at risk when an animal that would have been caught, escapes. We need to be safe out there. Best of luck with our new setup.

Those old WW chutes we're hard to beat!!! We still use ours, alley and corral set up has been changed/rebuilt probably four times in the last 60 years.. last time we put in a Prefert tub and alley. Rebuilt the old WW chute/scale combo, upgraded the scale with load bars, went digital!! Our set up is in a narrow space between the barn and the property line. We are replacing the line fence, and as we have leased the neighbors for the last 35+ years, I plan to add a few holding pens on their side of the line... Would love to have a hydraulic chute, but at 80 momma's, we're still good with the old WW.... Got a buddy in Idaho, he helps out a dozen or so ranches preg checking, he loves the hydraulic chutes, said 600+ in a day is easy... But with a manual chute, he said 250 and it's too long of a day. Thanks for the video!!! Love the new setup!! But it needs a scale😎

Like it's been said over and over, if you want an omelette, you have to crack an egg. I'm sure you had eggs to crack 7yrs ago as well to make the last system work. Crack that egg and you'll be rewarded with the omelette. Nice job. The inspiration to do it is enough said. Great work. Can't wait to see it in action 😀

So jealous of the new system... I looked into one last year at western ranch. I also know the feeling of tearing down your hard work for an improvement... Every year I seem to be redoing something on the corrals to help the next year... Or a cow finds a new creative way of getting out and breaking something so improvements are always a must. Can't wait to see the new system in action!
