Cattle Crowding Tub – Safe & Efficient Livestock Sorting Solution

The cattle crowding tub is the critical first component in a livestock handling system, designed to efficiently direct cattle into the alleyway and ultimately the chute for processing. Built to safely contain and guide animals, this heavy-duty crowding tub minimizes stress, improves cattle flow, and enhances the overall safety of both livestock and handlers.

This 8-foot diameter cornerless tub features fully enclosed, ribbed steel sides that prevent visual distractions and reduce the risk of injury to animals or people. The tub’s circular shape encourages natural animal movement, promoting calm behavior as cattle are gently guided in a single direction. The cornerless design eliminates trapping points and encourages forward motion, preventing cattle from backing up or bunching together.

With multiple sorting gates and an adjustable outlet width (19" to 28"), this tub allows flexible control over animal flow, making it easier to guide cattle into single file for entry into the alley and chute. The bolt-together frame and 2-inch square tubing construction ensure long-term durability while also allowing for disassembly, relocation, or replacement of individual panels if needed. This is ideal for both permanent installations and mobile setups.

For added safety and convenience, the tub comes with a full-length catwalk, allowing the handler to oversee and direct cattle from above. The high tub walls (6' tall) help keep animals calm by limiting their vision and shielding them from external distractions. Two 15-inch-wide removable walkways make transportation simple by reducing the total shipping width to under 8.5 feet.

Whether you're a rancher or livestock professional, this crowding tub is a dependable, safe, and user-friendly solution for preparing cattle for sorting, vaccination, weighing, or any other handling task. Available in left-hand and right-hand configurations, it integrates seamlessly with standard cattle alleys and squeeze chutes to form a complete, efficient livestock handling system.
