[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 25441, member: 195"] My pen is octagon shaped this leaves no corners,as that is were a crazy wants to get. The workin/.loading chute starts as a funnel down on the south side going north to the loading dock. The chute system has a series of 6 gates . The first is a small hoding area hold4/5 big cows with a solid steel gate opening to the chute. Now one man can stand on the work platform open the steel gate. Now when the second chute gate opens the cows see the light and jump in the chute, close the steel gate you now have the4to5 in the chute. The chute has a head gate at the end that functions as a head gate or swing open like a regular gate. Behind the head gate is another steel gate to isolate the cow or calf, it is designed so you can pull a calf or doctor without getting kicked. After you have finished working you cows you are able to cut them out to different pastures from the chute. I never work the cows that I am not behind a gate or above them. Remember you can get hurt very quickly by a gentile cow. [/QUOTE]
