[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 996408, member: 17767"] dun, follow-up question. Where does the cow stand in relationship to the chute or do you move her to a location away for the chute to do the pulling? colleen, thanks for bringing this up. The vet who I use has stated to me that if I need help with a cow during calving, that I need to place her where we can access the squeeze chute. Maybe it is for the same reason as dun, stated. He followed that recommendation with the added words that he does not go into the pasture and work on cows that are tied to a tree or a tractor. He has before but does not do it anymore. PS. If the cow goes down, on a chute that has a side that swings open you can get her out. But if the cows head is in the catch and locked up and she goes down - you cannot get the door open by moving it forward - her weight will place reverse load on the door. You can release it in the direction that you set it for automatic catch and then the cow could get out if she can get to her feet. [/QUOTE]
