[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 827618, member: 6543"] My advice would be to forget the automatic head gate. some of them catch cows okay but cows don't like em and get harder to work as time goes by. by nature to catch the cows they have to function hard and fast and usually cause enough grief that cows learn to hate em. or if they are easy walk thrus cattle learn how to pull back and walk thru....it is amazing how quickly they learn how to do this..... I always take the time to catch each head myself. but then I work by myself. quiet cowboys with easy ways.... quiet processes with gentle handling.... make quiet and easily handled cattle. does not happen over night but it is better than mechanical fixes. I know.....some don't have time to do things right ..... but they have time to do them over.... [/QUOTE]
