Configure Adjustable Alleyway

turning cows are always turning when you approach a couch typically never gonna gallop gallop gallop away it's gonna be turning so that's why the sweep system is so handy the sweep system will bring the cows down to a smaller and smaller area until it gets into the chute so you're at a point right here where the cows can still turn around a little bit and they're going to be turning around in here but as you get a little tighter get tighter and tighter and maybe a cow's head might be in here but all you got to do is kind of reach in and just kind of scare them in you don't need to be in here going yeah you don't need to be making all that noise man you need to be in here calmly handling the cows not talking junk to them and not cussing them out because they don't like being cussed out cool this opens right back up [Music] so this is the end of the sweep system and the start of the alleyway system the alleyway will slowly begin to collapse down onto the cow what makes a cow comfortable not turning around in the alleyway makes a cow comfortable and this is going to kind of rub the sides of the cow's belly right here and that is a comforting feeling to the cow that's why we have a squeeze system versus just some old shoot to run them through like they did in the old days so we've learned a lot about cows and the psychology of bovine animals so coming through here they'll squeeze down tighter and tighter so this area right here is about three feet wide i think it's 36 inches between here and then we'll go to the next shoot which is adjustable this is the adjustable portion of the squeeze shoot if you lift up on these handles right here raise up adjust the full squeeze so in other words it will go down just like that okay the way we're gonna do this is we're gonna put it on notch number three for our cows to slowly narrow down into this alleyway right here and the cow will bump both sides of its belly right here on the inside of the alleyway it's really really cool from there we're gonna go right into the squeeze shoot system i hope you guys are liking this please pound that like button subscribe the channel i'd love to have you back this is just great information i've learned this information it's super cool that i can pass it on to you so the way this is constructed again this is the adjustment on this side we can squeeze it in even tighter if we want to as tight as we want in case we have some really young calves we've got to bring through i think the number…
