[QUOTE="AngusLimoX, post: 727066, member: 3319"] You can listen to all the BS you want about all the gentle cows that let you stick needles in them, stick your arm up their arse and cut abcesses off their faces. The first time you have an animal decide it is going to not participate in your little dream world, you may remember this post. People who know way more than you do depend on proper equipment to prevent getting their heads caved in and their guts kicked out.One cow is all it takes. You seem to have good judgement on what you may need,( I bought a Mennonite chute and headgate for $1500 7 years ago, all I will ever need ). Ask around, feed stores, machinery dealers, and do attend auctions. ISell, Ebay etc... Wait a little while, there will be a post about someones quiet bull or cow killing them, usually an experienced handler. Talking to your vet is a good idea as well. You shouldn't spend more than you need to, but you need to spend for what you need. If it prevents something minor like a broken arm or a set of dentures, maybe it will pencil out even anyways, [/QUOTE]
