[QUOTE="Ruark, post: 818195, member: 16279"] This is a serious topic for me as well. I'm starting off with a VERY small operation, probably two animals, e.g. a heifer and a bred cow, or two heifers, something like that. There's no way I can economically (or afford) a big, expensive chute. I keep hearing about old timers that manage whole herds with just a head gate, sometimes not even that. There's certainly something to be said for halter breaking and teaching them early to just quietly step through the alley and gate, like Dun talks about in the last post. This is certainly the approach I will take. [/QUOTE]
