Manual Cattle Chutes
Arrowquip Ranch Equipment
A manual cattle chute should be designed for efficiency, safety, and productivity while following proper animal science and low-stress cattle handling practices. A well-built chute removes pressure points, reduces noise, and provides a clear line of sight to keep cattle calm and prevent injury. Smooth, quiet operation helps livestock move through confidently instead of rushing, protecting both animals and handlers, common issues with self-catch chutes. Arrowquip’s manual chutes are engineered to deliver a safer, calmer handling experience every time.
