[QUOTE="novatech, post: 842193, member: 5494"] TexBred I'm with you on the sticking your hand through. That bull wire scares the heck out of me. That's why I suggest the walk plank. I found I could do just about anything I wanted from above. With solid sides it seemed to keep them calmer too. On the opposite side of the walk plank we had a removable section on the bottom to work on udders. RobertW, it seems like a good idea to use the bull wire to hold the pipe. It may work a few times but really is not strong enough. I have seen them break those welds like they are not there. When it comes to working in close quarters I like every thing over structured. Just another thought. Maybe at a latter date you may want to make one side hinged like a gate. Cows occasionally get themselves in trouble while in the chute. A gate on the side sure can help. You see a lot of squeeze chutes with this feature. [/QUOTE]
