[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1381918, member: 6543"] i have said it before and will say it again... I give the cows I am working a cup full of feed every time I put them in the headgate. enables one man working.... I am breeding cows for a neighbor at my place now...cosync with cidr. bred the first group saturday....these are not animals that were raised at my place so they are not familiar with my system... first trip thru the chute was a little slow. second trip better....third trip was a snap... working by myself...once I had the cows to the barn lot.... my facilities are not fancy or special and wild cows would tear it apart I penned and caught and fed, preped the semen,bred, gave gnrh, recorded the breeding and did ten head alone in about an hour.... the feeding while in the head chute is the key....once a cow starts up the alley the second time she realizes she might eat and is looking for the feed tub. one of my cows who calved late last year and went directly to the bull....anyhow she had not been to my barn in over two years...she remembered the system and is the first cow to the barn and auto loaded every time....All I had to do was open gates for her. make the chute a more pleasant experience and you do not have to fight them thru it...
