Talk:Cattle chute

message: See forcing pen photo at Pen enclosure, sometimes the self locking gate uses rubber as a stopper instead of the ratchets. Cgoodwin (talk) 06:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I know the kind you mean.  That's much clearer.  I've edited it for tone (from like an instruction manual: "it should be operable", "can be achieved", to more impersonal: "is operable", "is achieved").  I've also removed some repetition and tried to make it fit better with the previous para.  --Richard New Forest (talk) 09:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  I have done another search of international cattle equipment and it seems that "alley" is the common term used in the US for a race. I did not see runway mentioned. Their "chutes" can be a crush (usually), a loading ramp (chute); a horse stock chute, rough riding chute and the one that I liked a "roping chute horse saver". Our top style force pen or yard is a "crowd tub"; and a table calf cradle is an US calf table which does make sense. The UK does not have the same amount of gear and it is named similar to ANZ. No wonder we are all confused. Cgoodwin (talk) 04:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have heard alley.  I think it is most common in the southern US. (Southern here does not include the southwestern US, which has a separate colonial history very much tied to cattle.)  Anyway, I think we can strike "runway". Thank you for your research, Cgoodwin. --Una Smith (talk) 05:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hold on ... does "chute is more common" mean runway does occur? --Una Smith (talk) 05:07, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

text: In US talk a chute is a crush or the other chutes that I mentioned, and it is NOT a race or alley according to the US equipment providers. I can supply additional URLs to the two that were supplied if needed. I did not see runway listed in relation to the equipment listed. Hope this helps. Cgoodwin (talk) 05:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: URLs supplied where? --Una Smith (talk) 19:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Ah.  I see.  I think "chute" will require disambiguation. --Una Smith (talk) 02:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Temple Grandin is a prominent American author on livestock handling systems.  The lead paragraph of this article uses "chute" and "race" interchangeably. --Una Smith (talk) 02:30, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
