[QUOTE="uplandnut, post: 1836427, member: 24555"] 225cattle, how much experience with cattle do you have personally, other than seeing them in the pasture? I started with bred cows when I started not knowing a darn thing about pretty much anything. Not even knowing it I was buying one and done cows at the sale barn, most stayed here for a couple of years. As much of a train wreck as this could have been it worked out well for me and taught me a lot. To shorten your learning curve maybe the person that rented your pasture before would be willing to help and offer advice in times of need? I agree with the advice given on here about having a couple of pens setup to catch/corral your cows should you need to catch them. However if you have a vet clinic that has a portable chute that they can bring out or a coop that rents out a chute I would use that vet clinic or rent the chute before purchasing one. They are expensive and if you don't have much cattle experience you will more than likely be calling a vet to treat your cattle anyways. Plus you can see what you like about some chutes and other things you hate. Maybe look at more of a calving pen? No matter what you choose to do good luck and welcome to the addiction. [/QUOTE]
