CORRALS Meaning and
Definition
-
Corrals are open-air enclosures or pens designed for temporarily confining livestock, particularly horses, cattle, or sheep. These structures are used to keep the animals together and restrict their movements for various purposes, such as feeding, branding, medical treatments, or transportation.
Typically constructed with wooden or metal fences, corrals are often found on farms, ranches, or livestock facilities where livestock management is crucial. The fences forming the boundaries of corrals can vary in height and design, depending on the type and size of the animals, preferred level of containment, and the specific purpose of the corral. These enclosures can range from small temporary structures consisting of simple wire fences to larger, more permanent structures made of sturdy wooden posts with wire or railings enclosing a larger area.
Corrals are valuable tools for farmers and ranchers as they provide a controlled and safe area for working with animals. They facilitate the gathering, sorting, and handling of livestock, making it easier for ranchers to carry out various husbandry practices such as vaccinations, shearing, or castrations. Additionally, corrals aid in separating animals for different husbandry needs, such as separating sick animals from healthy ones or segregating males and females. Corrals are also useful during livestock auctions, where animals are gathered and held until they are sold or transported to their new owners.

Etymology of CORRALS
The word "corrals" is derived from the Spanish word "corral" which originally meant a cattle pen or enclosure. The Spanish word can be traced back to the Latin word "currāle", which refers to a courtyard or enclosure for vehicles, livestock, or animals. Ultimately, the Latin term is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *ker- meaning "to enclose" or "to shut in", which also gives rise to words like "encircle" and "circle".
