[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1720718, member: 16453"] Let us be the judge of that question. No it is not the dumbest question ever asked. If they are wooden yards, have the chainsaw handy, if steel keep a big angle grinder handy. Seriously though unless it is something urgent I would postpone running them through. Some years ago I had a pretty anxious time with a cow I had just bought and after I got her through them with the help of a prodder I cut the overhead bars of the race and with the tractor bent the pipe posts out a bit to form a V and then welded in the new size overhead piece and it has helped a lot with the big ones, my crush (chute) is still the same size but I find if I can get them to there I can get them through and I have side gates to open if need be. I also have some parallel gates now for pulling calves in heifers that I can use to restrain if it is urgent. Ken [/QUOTE]
