[QUOTE="BRYANT, post: 765156, member: 10562"] 30 years ago we worked all of our cattle with out a chute. I tell my son he is spoiled to a good cattle working setup and should have had to help his great grandpa work cows with a junked together lot , made from old wood pallets that was about 6ft tall with some telephone buried real deep in the lot. You would rope the cows then sench them up to one of the poles and a couple guys help hold them then you would work them. It can be done but it aint fun, remember there were cows before there was all these nice chutes. Let me add these were Brahman or Brahman cross cows. That said go buy a cheap head gate and some panels, the less stired up you make a cow when working the better off you are I t may mean selling some cows and taking that money to invest in the right equipment and expand the herd later but you need what it takes to work your stock. It was the best thing we ever did was to get rid of the telephone poles and buy a head gate that we used for several years then we went out an bought a squeez chute later on and that was a good investment.
