A corral apparatus for attachment to a vehicle, trailer, or building, comprising:

• mounting brackets for securing at predetermined spaced locations on a surface of a vehicle, trailer, or building;
• a first side panel having a first end pivotally secured to one of the mounting brackets and a second end;
• a second side panel having a first end pivotally secured to the other mounting bracket and a second end;
• each of the side panels being adjustable in length;
• and
• a third end panel extending between the second ends of the side panels, whereby an enclosure is formed by the surface, side panels, and end panel;
• the end panel being pivotally secured to at least one of the side panel second ends, and being movable between a deployed position extending transversely between the side panels and a collapsed position folded inwardly against at least one of the side panels, and the side panels being movable between a deployed position extending outwardly from the surface and a collapsed position folded flat against one another and the surface.

A corral for attachment to a wall of a livestock trailer or building comprising:

• first and second side panels each having first and second vertical end parts at first and second ends of said side panel, and top, middle, and bottom parallel horizontal rails, each spaced at a distance from each other, wherein each side panel is hingedly connected at the first end to a wall and pivots approximately perpendicular to the wall and wherein each of the second ends of the panels are located at a distance from the wall;
• each horizontal rail being formed in two telescopically engaged parts moveable between extended and retracted positions to adjust the length of the side panels;
• and
• a third, end panel having opposite firs and second ends and a top, middle, and bottom parallel horizontal rails, wherein the first end of the end panel is hingedly connected to the second end of the first side panel, such that the side and end panels fold parallel to the wall for storage of the corral.
