What is recommended for cattle working pen designs
When designing cattle working pens, several key recommendations can enhance functionality, safety, and efficiency. At Red River Arenas, we believe that thoughtful design paired with quality craftsmanship makes all the difference:
-
Flow Design: Create a layout that allows for smooth movement of cattle through the pen. Red River Arenas' designs often feature curved chutes and alleys to minimize stress and encourage natural movement.
-
Size Considerations: Ensure pens are spacious enough to accommodate the number of cattle without overcrowding. Red River Arenas offers a variety of pen sizes to fit different herd needs, from small operations to large ranches.
-
Visibility: Incorporate features that allow handlers to see cattle clearly from different angles. Our working systems are designed with open sightlines to help monitor cattle behavior and manage them effectively.
-
Safety Features: Red River Arenas prioritizes safety, using rounded corners, non-slip surfaces, and heavy-duty barriers to prevent injuries to both cattle and handlers.
-
Accessibility: Design pens with easy access points for both cattle and handlers. Our gates and alleyways are strategically placed for convenient, stress-free movement.
-
Ventilation and Shelter: Provide adequate ventilation to keep cattle comfortable and reduce heat stress. Red River Arenas' customizable setups allow you to add shaded areas, windbreaks, and other comfort features.
-
Durable Materials: All Red River Arenas products are built from high-quality, weather-resistant materials, designed to withstand daily use and tough environmental conditions.
-
Adjustable Components: Our modular systems feature movable panels and gates, giving you the flexibility to handle different herd sizes and changing operational needs.
-
Sorting and Holding Areas: Red River Arenas' systems include dedicated sorting and holding spaces, helping you streamline operations and reduce handling stress.
-
Ease of Maintenance: Our designs prioritize easy cleaning and maintenance, promoting better hygiene and overall animal health.
