SW Iowa
Trying to decide which route to go for, just a general pen setup with inline bunks, not a load out area. I like the idea of utilizing the 5-bar with a top rail, as it keeps the post tied and has a clean look. The 6-bar is quicker and provides a tighter spacing. Not really worried about stuck calf heads. I have only had one in 10 plus years, and that was due to poor post spacing.
