[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16599"] Exactly the information I was looking for, and I thought I had read most every post. The gate sounds like it works well keeping the cow stretched back. I ordered a Priefert model 91 auto/manual headgate, have heard these gates are wonderful. Thanks, and I have also learned much from reading these posts.. I pulled the archives, but could get none to open. Thanks again > Regarding working cattle in a > headgate, I posted a related > question on this beginners board > on 4/9/03.
