[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1774780, member: 39347"] What is the general opinion…I have an old metal-base Priefert chute. It works ok but I’ve noticed that if an animal gets startled or tries to scramble, they are slipping and sliding a lot, especially if they’ve peed in the chute. I have a feeling a restrained head with scrambling body doesn’t improve handling for future chute use. Does anyone use thin stall mats or any other liner for better animal traction, or does that defeat the “upper hand” capability and give the cow too much security in the chute? [/QUOTE]
