[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1486403, member: 6543"] would it not be easier to pen her separately at feeding time? I put ten self locking headgates in my barn over thirty years ago and they have been of great value to me over the years....all of my cattle were raised in them as heifers .... cattle raised in headlocks are normally quieter when they go thru the working chute as well. in my opinion it also contributes to better disposition as they get used to being handled daily. After a few weeks of using the headlocks without locking them.....I transition to self locking and then a few weeks later begin to manually catch most of them when they come in....and I manually turn them out one by one...the neighbors yearling bull who is cleanup on his heifers has even learned to come into the headlocks and I catch him as well whenever the heifers come to the barn....they came up last evening and wanted a handout....
