[QUOTE="ToddFarmsInc, post: 547904, member: 8301"] Mine is home made. I went out and measured it this morning out of curiosity. It is 28 inches. It is just wide enough for my angus bulls. But my head gate isn't, so I don't squeeze them with that. My alley is just the right size for my cows, but it is almost too wide for yearlings who think they can, and sometimes manage to turn around in the alley. I have a seperate area on concrete under a roof for working calves. I had an old catch gate crate that was origionally designed for hogs. I modified it for calves, and it works just as slick as the large setup. I catch all the calves before they go to pasure, from one week old, to four or five months old. I'm thinking about investing in a new squeeze chute and head gate someday for my cattle alley. my headgate is store bought, (don't remember the brand) but it has been sprung by a bull a few years ago, and it just doesn't work as slick as it used to, and the squeeze part is all homade, and doesn't have a very easy open access. I would like to get something with seperate spots to open up, and a palpation gate at the back. (they sure have some slick setups at the local farm shows I go to) [/QUOTE]
