[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1238304, member: 498"] The majority of what I have is Powder River. The alley and palp cage I bought used at a farm auction. It came with an older PR chute that I didn't need so I sold it. Ended up with just a couple hundred into the alley and palp cage. Last fall I bought a new PR XL manual squeeze chute. It wasn't cheap, $5200. It is the new ratchet squeeze model. The squeeze handle goes up out of the way, no head knocking. The head gate handle is pretty much vertical when a cow is caught so it is also out of the way and no knocking my head like the old PR chutes. I really like it. I had an old PR Longhorn chute that I bought at an auction. I sold it for what I paid for it. The sweep is a Big Valley it was brand new at an auction. Didn't look like it had ever been set up. I don't know why it was there but it works fine and I only paid half price for it. Other than my new chute everything came from farm auctions at a considerable savings. [/QUOTE]
