[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 450719, member: 6198"] it will get easier and faster with time and pratice, practice, practice. Advice, higher an experienced cattle guy or twoto help the next time. One to work chute side and the other to work the pushing of animals to the chute. Then they can help with the problems, and keep the flow going. Mud always slows things down. How fast we are depends on everything going right, good weather, goood quiet gentle cow help, and a prayer before starting. Speed is not always good, then mistakes get made, a calf in anaphalatic (sp) goes un noticed or problem calves go un noticed. When we first started it took us all day to do 50 (no squeeze, just head gate broken fence) head of cows. Now we can process the herd of near 100 pairs by in about 4 or 5 hours. (with a squeeze and sort of crowding tub and some pens that work) that is if all the animals are already corraled and nothing goes wrong and no extras and 5 people working. oh yeah, we use the squeeze. that is what it is there for. we just don't use it hard on preg animals.
