We never thought we'd get it done!
What happens here
Two 10-foot long sheeted alleyway panels are transported and connected to the squeeze chute using the TYM T254 tractor equipped with a Bigtoolrack attachment, which acts as a mobile workbench and equipment mover. The alleyway panels are designed to guide cattle into the squeeze chute. The sheeted design minimizes distractions for cattle, creating a 'cave-like' environment that encourages forward movement, as per Temple Grandin's low-stress handling principles. Connector rods are used to join the panels securely. The tractor is instrumental in safely moving and accurately aligning these heavy panels, highlighting its versatility in farm tasks.
Goal: Attach the sheeted alleyway panels to extend the cattle path towards the squeeze chute.
