[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1237255, member: 3162"] My opinion is build them yourself. You need a head gate. Go to a sale barn. Look at the systems they build. Those are all fabricated. Don't know that I have ever seen a store bought set up at a sale barn. They handle some wild cattle at times. Seen cows come thru that look as though they never saw humans before. My portable is built out of 3 inch tube steel and lined with 4 inch grid sheep panel. Chutes, medina gates, cut gates, loading chute, and pen cost less than $1500. Head gate cost $300 used. I've got two squeeze chutes. Had to drag one out of brush and rebuild it. Old rancher gave it to me. Neither are pretty but both are solid. Work great. They are not the prettiest things but I am proud of every piece I own. Get yourself a welder. If you don't know how to weld, learn. It's not hard. You need patience. [/QUOTE]
