[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1845562, member: 42463"] I've always placed a side gate in the wooden chute adjoining the headgate. The worst accident I've had was a big (900#) heifer that reared up and flipped herself over the top of the chute rather than putting her head through the headgate. There were two posts, one with the headgate attached and the other post four inches from the headgate post with the chute lumber attached... and the damn heifer's front foot got caught in between the two posts as she came down outside the alley. I got the tractor bucket under her and lifted her up until the hoof came above the slot she had been trapped in... but the damage was done. Her shoulder blade had been twisted from front to back and she was crippled. We were AIing twenty heifers that had been synchronized at the time, so I wasn't too happy about it. [/QUOTE]
