[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 725871, member: 4892"] I am about to start a small herd of Galloways and I am looking to acquire a squeeze chute and any other equipment I need for basic handling. I'm going to start with three or so cows and build the herd up to 8-10 cows and perhaps a bull. A basic CattleMaster squeeze chute (D90B pictured here: [url]http://www.agdealer.com/pages/view-listing.cfm?ID=314347&SearchID=39753480&PageNumber=1&PortalID=1198&startrow=1&Act=EQUIPVIEW&listpage=/pages/index.cfm[/url] with a automatic head cate, priced out at $1600. The optional neck extender was ~$400. I never asked the price of the Parallel Axis chute in the picture. Can anyone enlighten me on the difference in function? Hi-Hog also has a Parallel Axis chute that I saw a nice video on utube on. I'm going to price that out as well. I bet it is going to be more expensive than the CattleMaster above. One of the well known equipment dealers here carries a lot of the Hi-Hog stuff. It seems very well built. I also plan on getting a round bale feeder. The model MWR pictured on the same page above was ~$400. Hi-Hog has a similar one I think. Other than that, I think I have seen salt/mineral feeders and I am going to need a few panels and gates to setup a sheltered area for calving and/or separting an animal from the rest of the herd. Any thoughts you can give me on equipment - what to buy, what to avoid, what is necessary, what is not... would be very helpful. I am very new at this and I figure I am better off getting decent equipment so that I can handle my cattle safely. [/QUOTE]
