Cattle Corral Ideas Tailored to Your Operation
All livestock enterprises are different. That’s why the best cattle corral ideas are the ones designed specifically for your operation.
With over 20 years of experience in livestock facility design and manufacturing, ProWay creates cattle working systems designs that prioritize safety, efficiency, and animal flow. We don’t sell corrals straight out of a catalog. Instead, we use our collection of standard layouts as a starting point to assess working capacity. From there, we customize the design to suit your unique needs and goals.
In most cases, our experienced corral design team builds entirely tailored solutions. We draw from an extensive internal design library and apply hands-on experience to develop layouts that are practical and purpose-built for your facility.
No two ProWay yards are the same, because your cattle corral ideas should be as unique as your operation.
Custom Cattle Corrals Designed to Last Generations
ProWay’s custom cattle corrals are built to withstand the test of time. Every detail matters—operator and vehicle access, gate placement and swing direction, alley width, pen sizes, and even corral orientation all influence how your cattle move through the system.
Each facility is drawn using CAD software to ensure precise measurements and a seamless fit during construction.
THE PROWAY DESIGN ADVANTAGE
We take a detailed approach to planning. Using satellite and survey imagery, we account for existing fence lines, infrastructure, trees, and elevation changes. When possible, we design systems that integrate existing structures to reduce costs and maximize efficiency.
On greenfield sites, we help select the best location for optimal access, vehicle flow, and cattle handling. We also provide site preparation guides, including earthworks, new laneway layouts, and turning circles for semi and b-double trailers—so you can be confident everything fits exactly as planned.
On top of your cattle working system design, we provide site preparation guides which can include recommended new fence lines, laneways and earthworks, as well as turning circles for semi and b-double trailers so you can be sure everything fits.
