[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 56721, member: 94"] For smaller animals on up to a year old or so, I work them in a normal Priefert headgate attched to a 30" wide chute. There are special squeeze chutes on the market for bigger Longhorn cattle. Another alternate, is to build a medina hinge, which is basically two big gates, hinged about 18" apart, where you can squeeze a big cow to restrain it. No, we don't cut the horns off before selling. That's what most people are after when they buy a longhorn. There is a local sale barn that hosts 5 or 6 regstered longhorn sales a year, and they handle them ok with their normal facilities. They do know how to use those horns and will muscle their way around the feed through or hay bale with them, but so far we haven't had any injuries. Since they all have horns, guess they are evenly matched in the weapon department, except for size. I don't run any polled cattle with the longhorns. [/QUOTE]
