[QUOTE="MissouriExile, post: 439486, member: 6430"] I have just purchased a used squeeze chute and headgate and am in the process of putting together my own working facilities. This thread has provided a lot of valuable ideas and information, for that, I thank the contributors. In reference to the blind vs not blind and curved vs not curved types I can tell you that manufactured "blind" alleys, chutes, panels are at least 50% more expensive than non-blind types. The same can be said of curved vs straight panels. Today a very modest crowding tub and straight chute with gates approches the cost of a decent new squeeze chute and head gate. So, cost could be a big reason why many do not follow the university recommendations closely. Jon [/QUOTE]
