[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 703112, member: 7509"] Many of the vets in Wisconsin use the For-Most chutes. I have an A-25 automatic headgate that works extremely well on any calves over about 250 lb. This is mounted to a For-Most 150 Squeeze chute with palp cage on the back. This is a fairly economical unit. I think your choice also should be based on the size of your herd. Most of us smaller herd people do not need a fancy hydraulic chute with next extender etc. On the other hand if you are going to run a couple hundred head through it a couple time a year hydraulic/bells and whistles might be worth the cost... My vet has the same unit I do but on wheels. I think he also uses the For-Most manual headgate rather than the automatic. May I suggest you put scale either under the chute (=expensive) or in the alley (=much less expensive). You will be amazed at how much information you can get from a simple scale. Good luck.
