[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 825836, member: 4892"] I'm pretty new at cattle and I find automatic the only way to go. Heck I have an impossible time catching the cows manually and mine are pretty darn tame. The only thing that seems to work for me is to get them in the chute, close the gate behind them and then coax them one way or the other to go forward through the headgate. Heck I have problems with that from time to time! I'm going to make some modifications to my chute - close up the sides so they can only see light through the headgate, and see if that helps getting them to walk through. The couple times I have tried to use the headgate in manual mode, they have just bounced off it and gone back. I don't know what skills I am lacking in manually catching cows but it just works better to use the headgate in automatic mode. [/QUOTE]
