[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 742116, member: 4892"] I've been going through the various options for setting up handling as well. What I have settled on is placing my chute almost to the end of a corner and then welding on some gate or panel hardware to the chute. I'll then use a 12' gate or panel which I will leave attached to the chute to guide my cows into the chute. So two walls and gate guide the cattle into the chute. This is a similar type of setup to what the breeder I bought my first two Galloways had - actually his chute wasn't even located in a corner. Of course in my case, my first two cows are VERY tame and I don' think I will ever have more than 6 or so breeding cows at any time. So I'm only handling one cow at a time and I expect I will be leader her in with a bucket of grain :-) Will see how it goes. Good luck with your setup. [/QUOTE]
