[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1794226, member: 38220"] It is holding up well and works very good. The only criticism I have of it is that weaning age calves and yearlings will sometimes fight after being caught and raise up on their front end and catch their front leg in the area between the head catch and the chute (gap where we vaccinate through). I am considering installing a removable bar across the head catch somehow that would keep their heads (and hence their front end) from being able to pop up that high. We haven't injured one yet, but it is a pain in the butt to get their front foot out of the gap. We use a shoulder brand on the left shoulder and the access to apply the brand is not very good, but if you use humping bar and don't catch the head and squeeze them up good and tight can get the brand on. Other than that little issue, this a really good chute. I like the built in palp cage and it has plenty of room to A.I. 1600 lb. cows (only have a couple that size). The head catch opens the full width of the chute, so if they can fit the chute they can go out through the head catch and I haven't had any cows or bulls not fit the chute. The wheel kit is awesome. One person can have it ready to transport in 10 minutes and with some other help, less than 5 minutes. [/QUOTE]
