Squeeze Chute Project

[wynedot55]

we rarely have todo anything to the cows.so we can get by without it.

Around here, we've always said the only smart thing the original owner did, was buy the squeeze chute! How and where he set it up, really sucks though.(future project)
It's come in handy many times and I have heard some vets won't even come out unless you have one.

We used to be able to lay the cow down in it, but when repairs were needed to the floor, my polish Hubby got out the welder! You could probably catch and hold a freight train in it now!

LOL it must be something with those polish men, it seems everything they build must be able to hold a truck or train. Mine built a work bench about 15 years ago that takes 3 men and a mule to move but I think will be around long after he is gone.

I priced some squeeze chute and WOW they are expensaive, that is why when we got the opportunity to get this one for FREE, we gladly decided to take on the project!:bun:bun

125 pounds?! What sort of cows do you raise?

He raises Beefmasters.

Our last calf probably weighed close to that, although out of a cow-holstein.
