[QUOTE="Kelly, post: 27951, member: 314"] I started out with just a homemade head catch. They got too smart and would not go anywhere near it. Then we set up a system of swinging gates that would hinge on posts and would close them in when they got past the first set of gates. The gates work really good with the smaller calves because you can do most everything you need to without them in the head catch. We put a manual headgate at one end so we can put the cows in the headgate if needed or just a chain behind them to keep them from backing up so we can have them AI'd or preg checked. Now this year I also set up a catch corral with chute made of cattle panels and headgate it was alot easier to get them worked on without trying to run them all into the barn one at a time! It just takes time to figure out what works best for your situation and the cattle you have. [/QUOTE]
