[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 801004, member: 968"] We do like Dun - run them in the chute, put a halter on her & back her out, where we can swing the "alleyway" (gate) out of the way. (work chute is in our old barn) We also built two pens in our new Arch Steel Bldg. The pens are 12 x 14. The front is a 12' gate attached to a 2' head lock. We can catch cow in headlock, swing gate to make a chute - both gates of the chute can be opened completely. We would still put a halter on them & back them out of headlock. Been up for 3 calvings, and I don't think we've used it to pull anything ---- yet. I sure like having the option! I don't care how good the chute is - I sure believe in giving them their head (with a halter). You are needing them to "help", so I would want them free to move a little. We prefer the cow to remain standing, but you never know when one will go down like a rock. [/QUOTE]
