[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 463652, member: 6291"] Personally I don't get it. Its over complicated for no apparent reason,,, especially for 5 or 6 head. There are very simple pins that are very functional. AND, there is no need to sweep into and open area. Defeats the purpose. I would look into adding a holding trap. Some thing you can feed, have mineral, water, and your lean-to in. That away when it comes time to pin cows you can just close the gate behind them and pus them right into working part of the pins. Plus when you get done vaccinating and stuff you can cut them back into the holding pin instead of just out into the pasture. It comes in handy, especially if you miss one in the head gate. I personally believe this helps them calm down after being worked. IF you must keep that design,,, extend your chute back to the same line as where gate 2 hinges. Then when gate 2 closes it seals off the chute. [/QUOTE]
