After spending the better part of a day working an Elk River squeeze, I've come to the conclusion that I was right to get a Priefert. The Elk River has most of the drawbacks that the other swingin head gate ones have except that the cows can;t hit it and back up and open it wide enough to get through. But with the head gate set so that they can;t swing it all the way in, the cows are leery of sticking their heads through that narrow opening.
