[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16597"] Regarding working cattle in a headgate, I posted a related question on this beginners board on 4/9/03. The subject was "IM Shots - How to restrain cow w/ headgate?" I received some good feedback. You might want to go back a few pages and look at it. The problem with running calves thru chute along with cows is that a cow might injure a calf. Also, if your chute is the standard 26" wide, the 300-500# calves will sometimes turn around, which clogs things up. Calves usually get a different set of shots than cows and it is easier to keep track of "who gets what" when they go thru separately. Because of all these things, we try to run cows & calves thru separately.
