[QUOTE="Dirty Boots, post: 957656, member: 18995"] When we work cattle I tell whoevers helping me no more than 5 calves at a time in the tub or 3 or 4 cows. Any more and they just start circling and you work yourself to death trying to get them to flow down the alley to the chute. Kind of a less is more type of thing. Also I like to see a 20 ft. alley going to chute if possible. That way the guyat the chute or vet shouldnt have to wait on cattle. Highly recommend that you make the sides of your tub and alley solid sided so cattle cant see out. Makes a big difference. It appears for cattle to get into the meat pen you have to open the side of the squeeze chute. Will that work for you? Not trying to pee in your chili but I know how but work goes into building these things and its much easier to change things on paper than it is once theyre built. Three of us recently worked one group of 91 weaned calves in 55 minutes and I dont think anyone broke a sweat. [/QUOTE]
