On a very tight budget, and will only be working a small number of
cows/calves(less than 20 to start, hope to grow more on down the
road). I'd like it to be under roof. I've found a used Priefert model 91
headgate for $450, don't know if I should should go that direction or
not. I've been looking at Prieferts os-3 system which is a 90dehree
sweep, 10ft alley with back stop, and the model 91 headgate for
around $2500. Am I better just buying some corral panels and bikding
something myself with the used headgate?? I'd also very much like to
have some scales but don't know if it's in the budget, and if I do find
some on the cheap, is a 10ft alley big enough for scales? Any design
ideas? Thanks for any input..
