[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 770875, member: 7509"] Temple Grandin shows a loading chute plan on her website that says they should be exactly 30" inside width. I built a loading ramp of the end of my chute so that by swinging a solid wooden gate/door they can either go back to pasture or into the ramp when coming out of the chute. This works very well. Even if the lead animal hesitates to go in the trailer, the ones behind push him ahead. A question. You may be limited by an existing setup but why have a chute inside a barn? Why not put the alley chute and ramps outside? This may eliminate your maneuvering problems and also eliminate the dark spots/shadows etc which cause cattle to hesitate. good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
