The Rancher Ultimate Cattle Working System

THE RANCHER ULTIMATE CATTLE WORKING SYSTEM

FREE SHIPPING

Handle calves through mature cattle with Red River Arenas' Rancher Ultimate Cattle Working System. This premium package combines the Top Hand Self-Catch Squeeze Chute with a 180° sheeted crowding tub and a 10' adjustable sheet metal cattle alley.

The sheeted tub and adjustable alley help reduce outside distractions and encourage cattle to continue moving toward the squeeze chute. Open upper rails maintain visibility and provide access throughout the working system.

Some product images show the optional palpation cage. The palpation cage is not included in the base price and may be selected under Available Product Add-Ons.

Top Hand Self-Catch Squeeze Chute

The Top Hand Squeeze Chute features a self-catch headgate that opens fully inward and outward. Split upper and lower access doors on both sides provide access to the animal, while emergency-release access helps handlers respond when needed.

180° Sheeted Cattle Crowding Tub

The sheeted crowding tub uses a locking sweep gate to guide cattle toward the alley entrance. Galvanized sheet metal along the lower sides reduces distractions, while open upper rails provide visibility throughout the tub.

10' Adjustable Sheet Metal Cattle Alley

The alley adjusts from 18" to 32-1/4" inside width for working calves through mature cattle. Both side panels adjust independently at the top and bottom, allowing you to maintain the V-bottom or increase the taper when needed. A chain-suspended butt bar discourages cattle from backing.

Complete System Includes:

• 1 Top Hand Self-Catch Squeeze Chute
• 1 - 180° Sheeted Cattle Crowding Tub
• 1 - 10' Adjustable Sheet Metal Cattle Alley
• Required fishhook connections

Available Product Add-Ons:

Please Note: The palpation cage is optional and is not included in the base system price.

180° SHEETED CATTLE CROWDING TUB
FREE SHIPPING

Guide cattle from your holding pen into the working alley with Red River Arenas' 180° Sheeted Cattle Crowding Tub. The half-circle layout measures approximately 20' across by 10' deep and uses a locking sweep gate to guide cattle toward the alley entrance.

The lower portion of the tub panels and sweep gate is covered with 14-gauge galvanized sheet metal. These sheeted lower sides create a visual barrier that helps reduce outside distractions, while the open upper rails preserve visibility into the tub.

Locking Sweep Gate

The sweep gate moves cattle toward the alley opening. Its spring-loaded locking mechanism holds the gate at positions around the tub and discourages cattle from pushing it backward.

Connect to Your Alley

The straight side includes a gate, an approximately 8' panel section, and an approximately 2' opening for an alley connection. Connect a compatible existing alley, a Red River Arenas 10' Sheeted Straight Alley, or a 10' Adjustable Sheet Metal Cattle Alley.

When connecting another manufacturer's equipment, verify the opening dimensions and connection requirements before ordering.
