[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 586482, member: 852"] I'd just get her in a small pen (lure her in if you have to), and then throw a rope on her and do a few wraps around a post. Halter and tie her... where you've only got one cow and the way it sounds it'd probably be easier for you to simply halter break her and then you don't need a headgate or squeeze chute. Won't take more than a week to get her broke well enough you can handle her whenever you need to, and if done right it doesn't need to be a "job for the young bucks who heal quick." ;-) I may be young but I have no more desire to get hurt than the older folks do. :P I don't have a squeeze chute here; I use a couple gates to form a temporary chute and do my vacc/worming that way... as to AI, well, you don't need a head gate for AI. When I take my cows to the vet clinic for AI they're led out of the trailer, tied to the fence, AI'd, and then led back up in the trailer. No stress. My vet laughs at me, but he enjoys working on my cows. [/QUOTE]
