  • Patent number: 5035204
    Abstract: An attachment for a livestock squeeze chute comprises an elongate beam which can be mounted on suitable mounting brackets on the upper side rails of the squeeze chute so that the beam extends above the squeeze chute and forwardly of the front end of the squeeze chute to a position approximately four feet forward and eighteen inches upwardly from the front end. A pulley is mounted on the forward most end of the beam and a winch assembly is mounted on a support arm extending out from the beam downwardly and to one side so that the winch is available to the operator of the squeeze chute. A cable from the winch to the pulley has a free end which can be attached to a halter applied around the head of the animal so that operation of the winch pulls the head of the animal upwardly and forwardly while the animals body is maintained in the squeeze chute to assist in subduing the animal.
