[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 376422, member: 539"] That is what we have, too. It is an automatic in that it catches them when their shoulders hit the gate. I can't tell you exactly how wide to open it, we just eyeball it. Not much help, I know, but that is how we do it. A word of warning - depending on how old your chute is and such things, if you try to release it to open it and the animal is 'leaning' (for lack of a better term) on it, it can break the chain and the gates won't release. If there is pressure on the gates, we always open them back into the chute and let the cow go, then open them up and release her. [/QUOTE]
