The funnel crowding tub is the most efficient, and most popular, of Hi-Hog's crowding tub solutions.

The Funnel Tub Design Gives You a Safer, More Efficient Cattle Flow

The funnel tub design will help you achieve safer, more efficient cattle flow

Efficient cattle handling is largely dependent on the design of your crowding tub. The half-circle version of the funnel tub provides the best of the funnel solutions because it will turn the cattle 180° to return your cattle to where they came from.

Reversible
All of Hi-Hog's crowding tubs are completely reversible which means that each tub assembly can be set up for either a clockwise or counter-clockwise operation.

Modular components can be set-up for clockwise or counter-clockwise operation

Remove the Wedge
The curve of the inside funnel panel contributes to the efficiency of the crowding tub. As the pivot gate closes on the livestock the cattle will sometimes turn to face the pivot point of the moving crowding gate and can get wedged in the corner of a traditional tub. With Hi-Hog's funnel tub, the curved face of the funnel panel bends into the crowding tub and eliminates the wedge at the pivot point. With the wedge removed your cattle can focus on the exit into the working alley.

Better line of sight to the exit
The visual relationship between the crowding tub and the working alley is critically important. From the viewpoint of the cattle in the crowding tub your cattle should see clearly into the working alley. If the cattle cannot see into the alley or, if there is something in the alley that distracts your cattle, your livestock will hesitate or refuse to enter the working alley without added pressure and stress.

To avoid this, the exit from Hi-Hog’s funnel crowding tub is highly visible. The curved face of the funnel panel flows seamlessly into the working alley directing the livestock clearly to the exit.

NOTE: be sure to design your working alley to flow off of the funnel so your stock can see well into the alley. If your livestock hesitate to enter your alley, take a look at your alley from their perspective. If they can’t see a safe exit from the tub they will hesitate or refuse to enter the alley.

Sometimes the full three section funnel crowding tub will not line up with your existing conditions. In these cases, you may need to change the number of tub sections you require.
