Cattle Corral Designs Built To Safely Work Cattle Alone
Small Cattle Corrals
- Ideal for 3–35 Head
Small cattle corrals are designed for ranchers managing limited groups of cattle who still need safe, efficient handling. These layouts provide defined holding pens, clear walk paths, and secure gates without requiring excessive space.
Each design can be customized to better fit your space or handling needs.
Popular small corral layouts include:
Medium Cattle Corrals
- Ideal for 40–100 Head
Medium cattle corral designs support efficient cattle working designs for growing operations. These layouts often include multiple pens, sorting areas, and access points that improve flow during loading, processing, or movement between groups.
These systems are built to integrate with loading chutes, tubs, and squeeze chutes.
Common medium corral options include:
Large Cattle Corrals
- Ideal for 120–250 Head
Large cattle corral designs are built for operations that handle higher volumes of livestock. These heavy duty cattle yards focus on durability, efficient movement, and secure containment during busy working days.
Each layout can be modified based on site location, herd size, and operational goals. Reach out to customize systems larger than 250 head.
Available large corral layouts include:

Frequently Asked Questions
Can your corrals be installed on uneven ground?
It doesn’t have to be perfect, we do ask that the ground under the sweep, alley,and chute be fairly leveled! As far as the rest of the system, if you have any major uneven areas you can usually stake down with the foot pegs on our panels for security.
Can your corrals be paired with any chute?
Of course find out which chute works best for your operation and pair it with these systems for a package.
Can these corrals be moved or added onto in the future?
They sure can, it’s very easy! All of our panels are pinned together and can be easily removed or changed for design purposes or grow growth.
