[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1467283, member: 27848"] I bought a homemade one like that once. Had just as you said on one side and an access chute, drop down, half height on the other. Drop gate behind so that you could either lock the animal in the chute and block the rump for shots or what have you, or leaving the access chute closed, open the gate enough for the animal to pull it's head out, chain intact across the brisket so you don't get any "bolts" out; it backs up slightly and exits out the side gate....very handy. Or if loading out the side just leave the run gate open, open the side into the trailer and let them have at it. I did make a ramp once out of about 10 bags of Sacrete right at where the trailer backed up; another chute with no head gate....used for loading only. Reason was my trailer was homemade and too high off the ground. When I got a new WW I didn't need to use it any longer. [/QUOTE]
