[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1748177, member: 9933"] I have one that hung on the top and another with a gate that slid down from the top when you pulled a rope. Both had disadvantages and we always also kept a selection of 4 inch round posts leaning along the alley. We found ourselves using them more than the expensive equipment. Both of those other stops are now stacked up against the wall in the weigh barn. The posts are all we use now and it seems that whenever we help out somewhere else, they also have a selection of posts to jam in the alley behind the cows and calves. They give the advantage of being put in multiple locations and at various heights and are cheap. You can use a sturdy tree branch if you want. You can even put a couple in behind an agile and active calf. Now if I were working alone those automatic stops would be great, but I never work alone anymore. [/QUOTE]
