She just gets a little testy when her trust fund check is late. I wonder if she ever thought about working for a living instead of having to wait for that handout.

Shoot, here is a "portable" loading chute that our neighbor was using in 1977.



And here is the squeeze chute that we were using the same day. My cousin, Ken, is the cowboy in the photo. We were helping our neighbor, John Burton, work
yearlings that day. Shoot, the chute didn't even have a floor in it, so once in awhile one of the bigger yearlings would try to take off with the chute. All joking aside,
that was a fairly up-to-date squeeze chute for that era. It had more steel in it than some of the pure wooden versions that were in use.

Cattle have sure gotten bigger in 30 years, maybe that's why floors were put in use.


I had an identical hat to that one, looks like it was on it's first day of work.

Seen stars but never lost the calf.

Ha this is pretty good !!! Trintiy man that was good, years ago I had a round bale feeder that a 3 yr. old red angus bull got his head stuck in between the bars and he was able to lift it off the bale ?? It would take too long to tell the whole story but he sure remodeled a lot of stuff before he was all done !!! 101

As a matter of fact this is a picture of me and my cousins in 1966 working cows with a chute that ain't much of an improvement on that one. BTW I am the skinny 16yr old on the right.

I built my first two ( one for cattle and one for hogs ) chutes while in High school with plans from Perdue University in about 1964 or so and they were 90% Oak and bolted together.

I was very proud of them and we used them till I went to the USMC and while I was gone my father sold the farm and moved - - - I never saw them again - - - I'm sure they have long since been burned.

I bought the chute I now have in 1973 - - - it was top of the line at that time and still is used several times each year. It is now still as good as when I bought it but there are sure much better ones out there now. I had to rework it about 10 years ago as some of the cows I have now could not fit in! I made it 3" wider - - - tells where we have come in the last 40 years!
