Back in the mid 90's our cow herd had gotten to a point that I was totally disgusted and ready to start a new direction. We had gotten caught up in the race for frame in Angus bulls of the 80's. Our young cows were tall, lacked capacity and volume, and had very little milk and even had some disposition issues to top it all off. I was ready for a new direction.
My cousin river rat and his family had bought some bulls from Jorgensen's back in the early 90's and were making great strides in all the areas we needed to correct. I bought my first commercial bulls from them in 98 and have done so every year since. I think that's about the time they became a cooperater herd for Jorgensen's bull lease program.
Anyway the reason for that history is that I now have a squeeze chute for sale. It was a manual Powder River that I had converted to hydraulic. I started freeze branding my bred heifers back in 99 and never used to have a problem working them without them getting stuck in the chute. Now just about every one barely makes it through and there was one we didn't even try, we just backed her down the alley. I wouldn't even consider running my mature cows through it anymore.
Anyway if someone is interested in a good usable chute let me know. Thanks a lot Wade, no really thanks. :wink:
