Subject: RE: alley length


Nebraska
At 24 feet, you just have a nice sized alley and I would not shorten it anymore than what it is now. Shorter than that, it’s going to slow up processing, not speed it up. I would be looking for other options to increase cattle flow, such as chute techniques(opening rear gate before front gate so next calf sees the other one leaving)or something else, maybe something like having your pen of cattle that are already done sitting where the cattle in the chute and alley can see them and want to go towards them.
