Sweep Systems

Sweep systems curve cattle toward a chute or an alley opening. A 180-degree sweep turns the herd through a half circle; a 90-degree sweep makes a quarter turn where space is tighter.

Both are built from the same heavy-duty material as the galvanized panels and attach with the same pin system, so setup is quick and the whole curve can be picked up and relocated if the pens need to move. Both sweeps are available in clockwise or counterclockwise, and the direction has to be specified when ordering so the curve turns the right way for the pen.

They also work with the “Texas Tough” freestanding cattle panels, which means an outfit can mix the two lines in one corral. A proper sweep is one of the cheapest ways to cut stress on cattle and people alike: animals follow the curve instead of being pushed into a corner.
