[QUOTE="Gunner, post: 1288597, member: 14221"] I made mine 29" and it works well for the cows, but the calves can turn back. No matter what size you make it it won't be perfect all the time. Was weighing some yearlings the other day and one of them turned back in the chute 3 different times. The problem was when she would turn back she would end up upside down and could not get up! Fortunately, where she pulled this stunt, I had a gate I could open that would allow me turn her to where she could get up. After 3 times I gave up! I watched her do this 3 times and I still can't tell you how a 800lb calf can turn back in a 29" chute. [/QUOTE]
