[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1744144, member: 6291"] When they show the "bud box" they show it for the low stress management crowd. We have been using a variation for a long time as have others. I've seen some people call it a medina gate. Basically you build what looks like a bud box set up but you dont get in the pen with them to put them in the chute. When you run them down past the chute you close the gate which makes one side of the chute. That alley they are in is solid gates you close to make the box smaller and smaller until they are in the chute. You can get behind a gate and eventually force them down the chute the entire way. I have tied ropes to those gates and pulled them from the outside with cattle fighting the gate the whole way. For hard to work cattle I've had the best luck with that modified bud box set up. I personally prefer a sweep because it's less walking around but when cattle bury their head in the V of a sweep its much harder to get them moving than in a bud box. [/QUOTE]
