Is their anybody using one and if so post pictures. I priced a few steel (Priefert) ones and thought they were quite pricey for someone that might only be only running 10 cattle to start.

Steel rusts and wood rots, so I guess there isn't any perfect material. I've replaced the floor of mine with expanded metal, with cleats welded across that. Good drainage, good traction and easy to wash out.Mahoney Pursley Ranch":23hgpecy said:Would yall prefer wooden floors and sides or steel in your squeeze chutes?

For the sides, I've never found any that I really like. They need to be heavy enough to withstand kicks, but light enough to handle easily when it's time to take them off. Try to stay away from something that hinges and folds down to the ground.
