[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1502886, member: 25884"] If we had a cow do that, she would NEVER get a second chance thru the chute. I have closed the chute a few times before they had their head all the way through and the most they did was back up and then not want to come forward again. One thing I have found. We have the chute either permanently "attached" like the one in the barn so there is no way they could ever tip it without tearing down the barn. But for the portable ones, they have a FLOOR in them. The cow cannot tip it if she is standing on the floor. And there are 2 bars over the top at about 1 foot intervals, half way and then closer to the head catch, so they can't go "up". So although she can hit that head catch hard and move the chute forward a bit, she cannot go up and she cannot tip it over. We chain it to a post in the back where it is along a wall or a fence so it can't be lunged forward too much. [/QUOTE]
