If you're looking for a cattle crowding tub that keeps your herd moving—calm, smooth, and stress-free—this is it.

The Lakeland 8.5ft Cornerless Crowding Tub is built for flow. No corners, no confusion. Just steady movement forward. With its curved, fully sheeted layout, cattle stay focused and moving, not backing up or bunching. Whether you’re running a portable system or working in tight quarters, this tub gets the job done—clean, fast, and without the usual hang-ups.

The gate swings smooth and locks exactly where you want it, with 12 latch points giving you full control as animals pass through. The ribbed steel sides are tough enough for the long haul, and the one-piece build makes setup fast and solid. Just drop it in place and get to work.

Want options? You’ve got ‘em. Choose a left- or right-hand swing to match your layout. Use either the straight-side or end exit to fit your sorting flow. And if you need to move it, built-in fork targets make it easy to load and go.

It’s all steel. All business. And all about making your cattle handling smoother, safer, and a whole lot less stressful.

Cattle Crowding Tub FAQs

What is a cattle crowding tub?

A crowding tub—also known as a sweep tub—is a curved or funnel-shaped pen used to guide cattle from a larger holding area into an alley or toward a squeeze chute with minimal stress and maximum safety.

Why use a crowding tub in cattle handling?

The tub organizes and funnels cattle efficiently, taking advantage of their natural instinct to move in curved paths while allowing handlers to move animals smoothly with less direct pressure.

What are the common types or designs?

Common options include:

90-degree (quarter-circle) tubs for sharp turns in tight spaces
180-degree (half-circle) tubs, requiring more room but allowing for a complete turnaround
270-degree (three-quarter-circle) tubs for the smoothest transition and the least resistance, well-suited for nervous cattle or operations needing steady flow.

How do I choose the right size or degree of tub?

The degree of turn (90, 180, 270) depends on the available space, the temperament of your cattle, and your operation’s flow requirements. More gradual turns are best for reducing stress and maintaining movement, especially in larger or more sensitive herds.

How does a crowding tub improve safety?

By allowing handlers to remain outside the pen and reducing the need for direct contact, tubs lower the risk of injury from unpredictable cattle behavior. Properly designed tubs also minimize bruising and stress for the animals.
