[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 315140, member: 5507"] Hi there, :help: Does anyone know where to get a hold of plans to build a wooden cattle chute? I'm picturing an old timey design with a V-shaped head catch and slated sides. We can't afford a steel one right now and had to leave our head gate behind when we moved here from VA. The trick is, I need one that is Dexter sized and can accommodate their horns. My husband is pretty handy and has all the 'man toys' necessary to build it. Also, any way it could be built to give access to hooves for trimming? Don't want to rope them and hold them on the ground if there is an easier way, but their hooves do need trimming. We'd like to get the chute done by late February as the calves are due in April and we'll need to vaccinate and trim before they calve. [/QUOTE]
