[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 874857, member: 5381"] I would avoid it if possible. It increase's the chance for injury and is tough on calves trying to follow their mother. Going through the chute increases the stress level more than just running them down a wide alley. The place I bought has a set of pens where the loading alley is about 6' wide. I didn't think I would like it but I have learned to just shut the gate behind them as they get close to the trailer and let them slowly load them selves. Once in a while they bottle up but usually one will enter the trailer and the rest will follow. [/QUOTE]
