[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1607952, member: 968"] Bud box - hmmm. I have never been a fan. I talked with a couple recently that has a Bud box and they are re-doing their facilities. Says it works great - when it works great. When cattle don't want to oblige, you are stuck. No way to FORCE them to go where you want them to until THEY decide they will do it on their own. I don't work that way. When I want cattle to go up an alleyway into the chute, I want them to do it when "I" want it done - not when they feel like it. For anyone new at putting in facilities, think about it long and hard before doing the Bud box method. I think the majority of time - especially when you are working a group - it will work great. Cattle like to "get out" and they go back where they came from, but what do you do with the one cow you have to work and she won't go? [/QUOTE]
