[QUOTE="dyates, post: 586408, member: 7137"] Make a crowding area out of gates/corral panels that gets more and more narrow the further she goes. The corral should end in a dead end if a head gate is unavailable. The last section of the corral should be hinged at the point where your head gate would normally be. Use this hinged gate to squeeze her once she is in. You will have to use a strong rope or a chain to secure the loose end of the gate after squeezing. The rope should hit the cow in her lower rump area to keep her from backing out. You can add ropes once she is in to crowd her closer to the dead end and restrict her movement. You can do routine work with most animals without a headgate. If she is one of those who likes to fight, fly, or pray, you will have to bite the bullet and get a headgate. [/QUOTE]
