Some time back I built an alley of sorts for catching goats. I put it around a gate that they all love to run through to get fed. With the assortment of gates - they can come through and go through an open gate directly to the barnyard area - OR - I can close a small gate and have them in a holding area that funnels down to a narrower area with gates than can be shut to confine them in a small area where I can give shots/wormers or just have an easy place to catch the wily ones.
Not so sure about my drawing....but maybe it'll give a general idea, lol.
Edited to add: I made it from hog panels and t-posts...my goats aren't jumpers.
