Effortless Calving: Portable Corrals for Every Ranch

As spring approaches, cattle ranchers are gearing up for the crucial calving season. Particularly in the Midwest, the majority of beef cows are calved during March and April. The health and safety of newborn calves are essential for the success of any herd. Having the right equipment can make all the difference. Linn Post & Pipe’s portable corrals are designed to create sturdy, adaptable calving pens, helping ranchers navigate this busy season efficiently.

Why Choose Portable Corrals for Calving?

Portable corrals provide a versatile solution for calving and a range of other cattle management tasks. These corrals streamline processes like loading, sorting, and working cattle. They offer ease of use and safety for both the animals and handlers. While they excel during calving season, their utility extends throughout the year, making them a valuable long-term investment for any ranch.

Features that Simplify Calving and Ranching

At Linn Post & Pipe, we offer the Bulldog and Wrangler Portable Corrals. Both portable corrals share standout features designed for convenience and durability:

  • Hydraulic Lift System: A user-friendly system raises and lowers the corrals without the need for heavy lifting, cranking jacks, or winding cables.
  • Size Options: Available in three sizes, these corrals cater to different herd sizes and ranching needs.
  • Mobility: Equipped with solid panel tires and a solar battery charger, they’re easy to move and maintain.
  • Expandable Design: Additional panels can be added to accommodate larger groups of cattle or to create customized pen setups.
  • Versatility: The large bow gate design allows for quick and efficient two-pen setups, ideal for calving, sorting, or working cattle.

Choosing Between the Bulldog and Wrangler Portable Corrals

Ideal for smaller operations, the Bulldog Portable Corral is a budget-friendly option that can hold 40 to 60 head of cattle. It features 14-foot-long panels and a 16-foot-long mainframe, making it compact yet functional. Its removable tongue hitch and ability to haul additional portable panels enhance its flexibility. Whether used as a standalone or in tandem with other corrals, the Bulldog is a dependable choice for creating calving pens.

The Wrangler Portable Corral

For larger herds, the Wrangler Portable Corral accommodates 80 to 250 head of cattle. Its advanced features include built-in working gates, a palpation door, and an adjustable alley for seamless cattle handling.
