[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 753056, member: 3162"] It is good you have foresight into potential issues. Cows can and will go down in the chute. It is not fun when it happens. In my life time I have seen two die in name brand commercial squeeze chutes. I have seen one go down in an awesome high dollar hydraulic unit. We saved her and this unit was the best I have ever seen. If you cannot adjust the gap, consider modifying it. Most units have a side gate. Rather than completely backing her out, you can pull her head back and let her out of the side if you can rig it. If she is half way through, that option is out. [/QUOTE]
