Hi everyone
I'm nearing completion of my coral, working chute project. I 'll be using an old swing type automatic headgate. How do you determine the width you need to set the gate opening? With the gate open to the fullest ,it seems like a cow might get caught behind the shoulders. I have never used a headgate before and dont want to cause a wreck. Also, Would 28" be a good width for the headgate chute? I'll be working angus cattle.
THANKS
