Arrowquip's 3E BudFlow® Cattle Tub uses natural cattle behavior and light to create efficient flow. By incorporating the 3E system in the BudFlow Cattle Crowding Tub design, cattle are instinctively drawn to areas where more light can be seen which allows you to guide them into the alley effortlessly. Whether you are working with a small group of cattle or running a large group through a system, the 3E BudFlow Cattle Tub is designed to maximize efficiency and profitability, allowing you to have time for more important things in life.
The 3E BudFlow Tub is available as a stationary unit, and as an option on the Portable Cattle Tub & Alley, Portable Q-Catch 87 Series Cattle Chute, Alley & Tub, Portable Q-Catch 74 Squeeze Chute, Alley & Tub, and Portable Q-Power 107 Series Cattle Chute, Alley & Tub
NEW 3E System [PATENT-PENDING]
The 3E System makes use of light and cattle behavior to create flow, allowing for easy entry and exit. By strategically placing low 33.5" sheeted panels across the point of entry and next to the tub exit, cattle are drawn into the right direction as they see more light. The 3E BudFlow Cattle Tub greatly improves how cattle flow through the crowding tub into the alley by using cattle psychology to your advantage, allowing you to save time and effort.

High-Quality Construction
The 3E BudFlow Cattle Tub is designed for durability and long-term use. To withstand extreme weather conditions, the crowding tub is powder-coated with high-quality materials. The 14-gauge steel sheeted panels bolt firmly together and are stabilized by joiner bars connecting to the center of the tub. For additional support, the 12' tub features welded stays to accommodate the larger size and provide structural integrity.
Enhanced Safety
The cattle crowding tub is designed to be operated from the outside, allowing the handler to guide cattle into the alley system by utilizing point of balance handling techniques through the railings. If needed, the crowd gate can be activated to assist in directing cattle into the right direction without having to be inside the tub. For added safety, the crowd gate features a lock that prevents cattle from pushing back against the gate.
Even Quieter
To reduce noise caused by metal clanging, the 3E BudFlow Tub features caulked sheet metal and a rubber bushing on the crowd gate lock which absorbs impact. The panels also bolt tightly together to eliminate rattling.
