The Tarter CattleMaster Series 3 Standard Squeeze Chute with Auto Head Gate is the economical, fast, and safe solution for smaller cattle operations. This all-purpose chute even makes it easy to work cattle by yourself. The Series 3 chute has a number of great features that will save you time and protect your investment. Let's start with the tailgate. An easy-to-use pull handle allows you to operate the tailgate near the entrance so you can encourage livestock to enter. The tailgate automatically locks when opened. When closed, durable steel bars of this standard squeeze chute prevent cattle from getting out - and others from getting in - allowing cattle to see into the chute. It's more likely they will want to enter when it's their turn. The automatic head-gate does the catching for you, so there's no need to stand at the front of the chute. Once livestock are in the chute - a single lever squeeze mechanism lets you apply pressure safely - keeping them still and calm. With one hand, you can easily access the top half of livestock for branding, vaccinations, and deworming. This single-operator squeeze chute's removable panels make working the lower half of cattle safe and quick. And if you need to work larger cattle, there's a side door to allow livestock to exit.
