But when you look at the cow cost it gets cheeper. Figure the number of cows you plan to work each year and multiply that by how many times you will work them in a year and then multiply that by ten years. (The amount of time the squeeze chute will last without repair if you keep it clean.) Then divide that figure into the cost of the chute. The chute becomes much less expensive. And that is not counting the injury to the cows and your self you have advoided. [email=sillco@compufort.com]sillco@compufort.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
