[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1767828, member: 42820"] I got a good deal on a headgate for cattle. It is an automatic catch and it worked a time or two perfect then the bull came thru and he was to large to get thru the opening in the catch gate. I opened it up for him and caught him just fine. Next 2 cows came thru got thru the catch except for their hips. I gave vaccines and pneumonia vaccine anyway and finally got them out. Now I’m confused on where I need to set it for the cows. Would 5-1/2 to 6” neck opening be ok for the cows? They weigh about 1250 to 1350 lbs I guess. They are beef cattle, Angus, Charolais, and Herford. It adjusts in and out at the bottom and at the top of the catch mechanism. I think it adjust from 5” to 14” for the neck catch. I wish I could remember where it was set before we moved it. It is an older model buys was working good. I think it’s a Pieter brand but not sure. I try and get a picture of it tomorrow. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
