[QUOTE="novatech, post: 818140, member: 5494"] Train them to go through before you need to use it. Pen the cattle and have all go through without ever closing it. The ones that will not go through just let them stand there. Go off and do something else. Eventually they will go through. Makes life a lot easier when you need it for real. When it is necessary to use it make it as painless as possible. Personally I do not care for a head gate or squeeze. I can usually do most anything I want in the working chute before the squeeze. At times it is necessary to use it. When that time comes they have already been trained to go through. My experience with a hot shot. Use it in the chute to get them in the head gate. The next time they don't go in the chute. Use it to get them in the chute. The next time they don't go into the pen. [/QUOTE]
