The idea of the chute having a bend in it is a good workable idea. Seems to me the cattle, or hogs, for that matter, have too much time to think if they have to walk down a long straight alley or chute where they can see the end. When we loaded cattle and hogs out of the barn they had to make an abrupt 90 degree turn to get in the loading chute. They were up the chute and in the truck before they had time to think about where they were. This especially made it easier for loading hogs. I couldn't get them up the chute no matter how much I cussed at them if I tried to run them straight down the alley to the chute. They would get to the chute and stop and try to turn back. Then I changed the holding pen location so they went out the pen opening, made an abrupt right turn, and were in the chute before they knew what was happening. Made for a lot cleaner language and a lot less loading time. When we quit loading trucks and went to goosenecks life got a lot easier.Jim
