Lifetime Corral Built From Power Poles

Lifetime Corral Built From Power Poles LIVESTOCK Handling 22-1-4 This corral will no doubt outlive the life of the Nebraska farm where it's located. When Dave Kirkpatrick bought his ranch near Anselmo there were no corrals. He's a guy who likes to build strong so he used old powerline poles to construct pens and alleys that would stand up to the toughest beating. Poles are stacked on top of each other to make sides.

Swinging gates are made from heavy-walled steel tubing covered with mesh wire panels. (Draft Horse Journal)
