Cheap, and with four of them, and four t-posts, you have an instant pen. We have evolved to using 5 bull panels in a v-shape (one for closing the back), all v'd towards two hog panels about 24" apart (like a run). Short panels on either end let you chase a group into the hog panel run, hold them there, work them, and then let all go. Sue bought me a sorting gate from Premier for my birthday last year, and sometimes we use that at the end of the run. This setup is a real time-saver, and I can put it up anywhere in the pasture. YMMV :) OK, I am one of those that still doesn’t have my permanent handling facilities built (yet), but in the meantime, I have just two words for you: bull panels.
