#1: Lessens the impact on the front quarters of the cattle by closing with the forward motion of the cattle, especially the excited more aggressive cattle that want to run right through, which seems to help keep the animal less excitable. #2: For the cattle that kneel down in the old-style chute, which happens to about 5-10% of cattle depending on their disposition and wanting to fight to get loose, this new style has a much wider opening at the base of the headgate to make for clear sailing on exiting the chute for the kneeling cattle. It took a lot of encouragement to get them out of the old style that was narrowing at the bottom. I will absolutely recommend this new style chute, It makes my job easier when helping process cattle.

“Flow is excellent…” Says Bill Sindelar, Cedar Hill Cattle, Howells, NE. (12,000 hd) “Our tub is 30 years old and still working great. We went from a single to a double alley six years ago, which was custom built to fit our site. This allowed us to increase our overall capacity 30-40%.” “Double alley is certainly the way to go, I recommend to anyone, the quicker the better with less stress.” |
