South Central Kansas, Harper County | Ive read through some of the archives about numerous post on the different portable corral systems now available. I also know that the Wrangler is the original designed corral built in Abilene, but marketed by Linn Post & Supply. From what I can gather, the people who originally built the Wrangler, now build and market their own corral called the Rawhide. Basically the same design as original but they now include a "processor" in the middle which makes it easier to work cattle through a chute, ect.(also, I believe the wheels now raise up hydraulically instead of having to remove the wheels).
We have borrowed our neighbors Diamond W corral to catch cattle the past couple of years, and it seems to work really well. We really like the little catch pen in the front, which makes it easier to back a goose-neck trailer up and load. After comparing the Wrangler and Rawhide to the Diamond W, they dont look to be as easy to load cattle up into a trailer. Any comments from those of you that have used both? I imagine on the Wrangler and/Rawhide, you could move some panels around to form a small crowding pen for loading, but haven't seen any examples of such. Any comments would be appreciated!
Thanks,
