[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1477114, member: 24816"] I agree the cost share programs are likely the catalyst for the significant upgrades for working facilities around here. When we first started using one of the little farm properties of my mother's family the head gate was wooden and secured with a rope at the top. It was positioned in a barn stall with a wooden slat gate that drug around and held them to that side of the stall. My dad made a chute out of metal pipe, with a manual head gate. They had it at the back shed door and ran the cattle down the shed and caught them with a gate behind it. One of the local vets at the time liked it so well he said he would work the cattle if he could bring his chute. :lol2: Have heard other folks talk about roping cattle in the field and tying them to a tree or post to doctor them.
