[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 726548, member: 3162"] Exactly. If just starting out, a medina gate and alley would be where I'd go. I would have nose clamps just in case of an emergency and probably never use them. I would spend my nickels on a solid alley, loading chute and robust medina gate. I would build from there if need be. Currently I have two squeeze chutes and a portable unit with a head gate. For innoculations, tagging, worming and most all other maintenance I use a medina gate. Less stress on the animals. Some of the set ups folks put together looks as if they are going to work 200 head a day, 365 days a year but they only have a few dozen head. Makes no sense. If they can afford it and that's what they want, its their right to spend the money. Dad and Grandad ran them into a loading alley with a blind on the end. I was the one sliding block boards in the rails behind the cows. First time I ever saw a squeeze chute it was amazing. Studied for an hour in awe. [/QUOTE]
