[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1684586, member: 18945"] I believe that's a version or clone of a Silver King chute and headgate. State of the art when I was a teenager and the Ag Dept at my high school had one. The bar you are asking about is a nose catch. Most people wrapped that with cloth feed sacks or something else for padding. You would swing that out from the pivot point before the animal was in the head catch. As soon as the guillotine was dropped and cow was secure, you would swing the nose catch back to the closed position to capture it's nose and to keep the animal from swinging it's head back and forth. [ATTACH type="full"]4886[/ATTACH] I don't remember seeing one used on calves but the nose catch did work pretty good with sheep. Biggest problem we had in the ag dept with that style chute and HD was getting horned cattle to stick their heads in the small opening to begin with. [/QUOTE]
