[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 457433, member: 3162"] Right now the name of mine doesn't come to me. I picked it up for a bargain second hand. It is a self catch and I give it a bit of assist. With self catch, once you get familiar with it, you don't miss much. Too wide and the youngs get through. Too narrow and they won't try. You have to get the Goldie Locks "just right" setting for each animal. The biggest secret is to get them moving hard into it. There are two pin notches on each side. The setting I have now is a bit tight on the neck for two of my cows. All the rest are okay. I try to hold those big gals until last and move one side another notch out. That is about the only thing I don't like about it now; it doesn't readily adjust for size. I may wind up rebuilding/re-engineering that feature of it to simplify the size adjustment. [/QUOTE]
