[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 172216, member: 2862"] Good links. Just wanted to add my own thoughts to the following bad design: [img]http://www.grandin.com/gifs/design.princ3.jpg[/img] The 'improved design' on the single file chute really isn't all that improved. When I was building my tub, I screwed up and built a 180 degree tub with the chute coming off 90 degrees, almost exactly like the improved design. The animals will spin at the chute entry as they come off the outside of the tub turning right and when they hit the 'dead end' they tend to want to continue spinning right. A much better design that would fit in nearly the same space is a 90 degree tub with the chute flowing off the outside edge of the tub radius. The cattle walk along the outside edge of the tub and straight into the chute without having to turn left. Rod [/QUOTE]
