Crowding Tubs

Cattle Crowding Tubs for Efficient Low-Stress Livestock Flow

Optimize cattle movement and reduce handling stress with professional crowding tubs designed to guide livestock smoothly from holding pens into alleys and chutes. Bison Supply offers sweep tubs and Bud Box systems engineered with cattle behavior principles, delivering efficient one-person operation while minimizing animal stress and maximizing processing throughput in commercial and cow-calf operations.

Our circular crowding tubs feature sheeted sides that eliminate visual distractions, focusing cattle attention on the single exit path while the sweep gate gradually narrows available space to encourage forward movement. Available in multiple diameters (8', 10', 12'), these heavy-duty sweep systems utilize powder-coated steel construction and overhead spreaders for stability during high-pressure handling situations. BudFlow and reverse-flow designs leverage natural cattle instincts to return to entry points, creating continuous flow with minimal handler intervention and reduced need for aggressive sweeping.

Whether you manage a high-volume feedlot requiring double-alley exits or a cow-calf operation handling mixed-age cattle, our cattle handling tubs integrate seamlessly with adjustable alleys and squeeze chutes for complete processing systems. Designed for outside operation, these tubs keep handlers safe while utilizing point-of-balance techniques. Pair with our cattle chutes for comprehensive handling infrastructure, or explore our cattle panels to complete your corral system.

Ranchers and contractors nationwide trust our crowding tubs for their proven ability to improve cattle flow, reduce processing time, and create calmer livestock handling environments that benefit both animals and operators.
