Securing Cattle in the Squeeze Chute

What happens here

Once a cow is in the squeeze chute, the headgate is closed to secure its head. The squeeze mechanism is then activated, gently applying pressure to the cow's sides. The presenter explains that this 'hug' helps to calm the cow, making it less agitated and easier to handle for procedures like ear tagging. The cow's head is held firmly, allowing for safe access to its ears.

Goal: Restrain the cattle for safe and low-stress handling.
