[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1822651, member: 25884"] We have facilities that were built by the previous owner... no way to change without extensive tearing out and all that... our bulls for the most part do not fit in the chute or head catch after their 2nd or 3rd year... so, after they get too big, they do not get a BSE, and they get fly sprayed as they go on the trailer.... and we will rotate bulls at pastures after 30-60 days in case one should "go bad"... but we have several bulls, several pastures... and will often add a 2nd bull after 45-60 days "just in case"... not ideal situation... and have discussed other options... but then again... most all the bulls are very quiet and fairly easy to work around... use a dart gun if we have to... We will use a halter to catch them in the small pen at the barn, and vet will tranq them if they need any work done.... they will all put their heads into a pan with grain and easy to put a halter on them and snug to an upright at the barn that is part of the structure's framework... We can crowd them a bit partway into the alley to the chute to give them shots, holding them against the side wall of the chute.... they actually are usually much easier to work with than a few of the "stupid cows" we still have.... Our chute does have a side gate so have let out a few that have squeezed their way up the alley into the chute. That side gate has been a godsend for working with a cow in the chute, that I am trying to graft a calf on also... [/QUOTE]
