[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1475680, member: 12520"] That's true, they aren't always super cooperative. It really helps to have a squeeze that the sides hinge at the floor, that way the shape of the chute helps to support them as well. I'm wouldn't say it's the best way, or the only way, it's just our way and it is a method that has stood the test of time. I have considered putting a maternity style head catch and panels, but I haven't measured one up yet to see if it would fit in our "hospital" end of the barn, which is partitioned off from the rest of the barn. And I'm not convinced I want to lay on the floor straightening out crooked calves, hooking chains, or running the puller :) [/QUOTE]
