[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1434038, member: 3162"] If he puts the slide gate or guillotine on the beginning of the alley, he can isolate the cows in a medina and not have to use the squeeze if he does not need to. A whole lot of minor maintenance can be done with just the medina quicker and easier than using the chute, especially if you are working solo. Things like pour on wormer for example. I can do three cows at a time in the medina, release them out the alley, and take on another 3. I have pulled calves in the medina and it is not a panic if the cow decides to lay down with her head in the squeeze gap. I'd much rather pull a calf in the medina. Last one I did in the medina was a calf with its head back. Personal choice more than anything else TB. When I was a kid, no one had squeeze chutes. We ran cows into a loading alley or else used a medina. We were poor folks. [/QUOTE]
