Building a corral
A- Yes, the most important thing is to start with a plan in mind. First consider your budget. You do not want to start a project and not be able to finish. Second, how big do you want or need the corral to be? Third, what are the conditions on your property? Fourth, what are your preferences as to design and functionality. Fifth what material do you want? I prefer steel pipe for its ease of installation and care, of course some areas require different material choices, but depending on your preference and skill level, if you are doing the work yourself, round or square pipe is pretty common for corral fencing because it is reasonably priced, durable, strong, and looks good. Steel pipe fencing also can add a lot of value to your property, and make working those cows a lot easier. Keep in mind that when using steel a lot of the work can be done inside during bad weather making the job a lot easier and quicker when the sun is shining, hope this advice is helpful.
