I've probably asked this before, but really trying to get this narrowed down finally
First of all. Preifert, Tarter, or any other farm store and/or poorly made unit is not an option for me.
Most of you have ton more cattle working experience than I do, so you won't hurt my feeling, but here's my info and specs needed.
Budget. Less than $5K at the time being. Can't put off replacing old chute any longer, IT"S TIME!
Needed for: constant AI work, standard cattle working, testing a handful of bulls a year, and clipping 5-10 animals per year for consignments, etc. Purebred cow/calf operation less than 30 head
Need to be "one man show/operation" friendly as possible.
Have looked hard at Palco, cowco, Pearson, and others. Really want a squeeze along with it being user friendly for clipping, but that's really where i'm getting the budget blown up or not checking enough boxes.
Thanks in adavance
