It is well known to the seasoned practitioner that the livestock facilities you must use can make or break you. The practitioner is exposed to all types of restraining devices-all the way from the lariat to super effective, quietly operating hydraulic mechanisms. At any facility, design must be such to protect people and livestock from injury and to move animals smoothly. We all know that once you have been on a specific farm or ranch to work a considerable number of cattle, it is relatively easy to predict working time the next time you are called to that place. As human nature is, we know that only some operators will improve their facilities to enhance safety and working time.
