[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1297284, member: 13402"] We used just a head gate for years and had finally bit the bullet and purchased a new system with a palpation cage alley and half sweep tub. However we had not had time to get it installed when we were breeding a group of cows using the old head gate. The reason we had finally decided to purchase the new is the old head gate would hang up and you would have to reach in and pull it to get it to open. The boss had made the statement that someone was going to get hurt using it. He was right, it hung up he reached in to pull it about the time the cow slung her head it caught his thumb and took it right off at the joint. Having the right equipment can sure save you not only in $$ but in pain and suffering. Now the boss can only give you a half thumbs up! gizmom [/QUOTE]
