[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1475965, member: 12520"] We just have a big heavy rope attached to the top of the chute on one side, draped down the inside of the chute, on the floor, and up the other side. When the cow steps in it's just a matter of tightening it up a tight as possible. Right behind the front legs. I use a bar behind and work it forward far enough she can't lay down. Sometimes they want to slump down and need a little encouragement to stand up on their own. As I mentioned before, our chute is narrow at the bottom and hinges there to squeeze, so if they are squeezed up tight it also helps to hold them up. I have to admit to pulling more calves than most folks, so it's good to have any system that works and you can work by yourself. [/QUOTE]
