[QUOTE="C HOLLAND, post: 242085, member: 2200"] Thanks Alabama I will normally walk behind my cows or bull if I am just running them through the chute into the loading alley. The only time I have had trouble was with the smaller heifers and a calf that kept turning around. I have been giving them a little feed at the exit of the alley and they go in much easier. (amazing what an empty feed bucket will do :)) I am going to do annual vacs tonight and will run them through the way it is for now. The heifers I bought last Nov are around 1150 lbs now and they shouldn't be any problem ( I HOPE ) they are all pretty easy going. I also plan to wean a calf from his mama by putting them in adjoing pasture for a few weeks, I was told that was the easiest way to wean them. [/QUOTE]
