[QUOTE="Ohio2, post: 111936, member: 1875"] At home we use 3 home made steel/iron chutes. They were 4-H welding projects. VERY heavy, and very durable. They have stood the test of time and some ornery cows! For the road, we use alum. It is made from round tubing. We bought it in PA (don't remember which supplier) but we've drug that around for about 6 years and really use it hard. It has been worth every penny. The only negative (and it's a small one) is the alum will discolor white cattle where the neck rubs. We just wrap the bars with white vet wrap and it works fine. I believe the round tubing is much sturdier than the square on these light weight chutes. Get one with wheels and the kids and wife will love you! [/QUOTE]
