An assembly of gates and pens, or other enclosures, for assembling, sorting, holding, and guiding animals to and from one or more processing stations. A plurality of perimeter gates define and enclose a sorting area having a second set of gates which divide the sorting area into separate sections. A number of holding pens, or other enclosures, adjoin the sorting area such that access to the sorting area from each holding pen is provided by a perimeter gate. Animals are guided from a holding pen, through the sorting area, then through a crowding area, then through a lead-up alley which exits back into the sorting area, one section of which is thus used for redirecting processed animals while another section is being used for incoming animals.
