[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 952597, member: 5381"] I have two of the Priefert auto catch ones and one manual type. One of each is on a squeeze chute. They work very well. Even though I almost always work cows by my self. I prefer to manually catch them either in the chute or in the alley with a gate or a board behind them before opening up the head gate. To me it is less stressful for the animal when they don't slam the gate to trigger the auto catch. I catch them, then ease the gate open and as they start to move through it, shut it. Less noise and less stress for everyone.The cow is moving slower so you don't miss many. To me the Priefert auto catch's work better than others with swinging doors. The Priefert web site has a video where one of the Priefert's show you how to use one. [/QUOTE]
