The Adjustable Cattle Alley for Safer, Smarter Herd Flow

When it comes to handling livestock, keeping cattle moving smoothly and calmly is critical. A dependable adjustable cattle alley can make the difference between a stressful, time-consuming process and an efficient, safe operation. The Sioux Steel Adjustable Alley was designed to guide cattle naturally, improve safety, and reduce stress for both animals and handlers.

Cattle naturally follow light and consistent pathways. After leaving the crowding tub, they’re more willing to move forward into an alley that feels secure. This adjustable alley capitalizes on that instinct, creating a calm, steady flow of livestock toward your squeeze chute. By reducing hesitation and preventing pile-ups, it streamlines your handling process and keeps both cattle and handlers safer.

Flexibility is at the heart of this design. With adjustable width ranging from 16 inches for calves to 30 inches for mature cattle, this alley works for herds of all sizes. No need to invest in separate alleys—this one adapts to your entire operation. Two 8.5’ alleys can even be linked to create a full 16’ run, offering extended space and smoother flow for larger groups.

Durability is another strong point. Built from heavy-duty steel, the alley is engineered for years of ranch use. Greasable pivot points ensure smooth operation and low maintenance, while a built-in no-back bar keeps animals moving forward without slipping back. These thoughtful details save you time and protect your investment.

Safety and accessibility aren’t overlooked either. A full catwalk runs the length of the alley, giving handlers a secure elevated position to guide animals and monitor movement. Six reliable locking points allow for quick, secure adjustments and ensure the alley stays steady during use.

For ranchers, this means reduced labour needs and increased efficiency. Fewer workers are required to move cattle through the system because animals naturally flow forward with less resistance. Stress is reduced, injuries are minimized, and operations become smoother.

The Sioux Steel Adjustable Alley is more than just a piece of equipment—it’s a vital link in a complete handling system. Pair it with a crowding tub and squeeze chute for maximum efficiency and safety. Whether you’re running a small family ranch or a larger cattle operation, this alley provides the flexibility, durability, and control you need for professional livestock management.
