[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1830427, member: 42820"] Ok, I have made some good changes that needed to be done. I raised the corral to 6 ft at least or more in some places. Cut out the square corner at the begining of chute entrance. Installed a stop gate at chute entrance that adjusts up and down for cows or cslves. Also added a crowding pen out of heavy duty cow panels that lock together. Once cows enter corral all gates are chain hooked. Once closed in crowding pen they are in chute entrance. I hope video of some of these change will load. I'm proud of it, I hope the cows are. Lol Ps- the back stop gate is made out of 1" galvanized pipe. I have plenty of that on hand and when I see this one perform under real working conditions , I am building a second one for the head gate end that will also be adjustable to length of cow or calf that is in the head gate. I am not the least bit worried that the one at the chute entrance will hold Mr Bull. Hope the video posts. I know this is a very short video but if I go more than 8 seconds in length it will not load up to site. The wire you see in the video will not be a part of it when it working the cows. It was just used for me to pull the trigger to drop the gate. Thanks [/QUOTE]
