[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1845618, member: 6291"] Yep, I had a cow get upside in the chute. Luckily, it was portable panels so we unpinned one and let her roll out the side. If it was permanent pens it would have been a mess. I've had to dump several cows and a big steer out out the side of our priefert squeeze. That's the bad thing about having just a head gate. I have a buddy that is bad about not squeezing when he catches them. I always forget to get on his azz until we get a couple try to lay down then it reminds me. I keep the bottom pretty narrow. I will start to squeeze the chute before I even open the headgate. When I get cows that don't want to go through the headgate I use the squeeze to bump on them and it will make them go a lot of time. It's one motion for me, I catch with my left hand and squeeze with the right at the same time. My buddy wants to squeeze with his right hand or both and in just the little time to then switch over to grab the squeeze, they will be going down already. [/QUOTE]
