Question: How much does the Lakeland Easy Catch Squeeze Chute weigh and how long is it internally?
Answer: The Easy Catch Squeeze Chute weighs in at just under 2,000 pounds, making it one of the heavier manual squeeze chutes out there. Pounds for dollar, it’s one of the highest value chutes as well. There’s 11 feet of internal space from behind the headgate to the rolling door at the rear of the integrated vet cage.
Question: Is the Lakeland Easy Catch Squeeze Chute self-catch or manual?
Answer: It has the unique auto-reset spring-cushioned headgate. This means it is designed to process animals quickly and safely. Simply adjust the stanchions and set the headgate back against the adjustable limiter chain. The operator can now be outside the cows “flight zone,” opening the heavy-duty rolling door to let the cow into the squeeze chute and allowing the animal to move into the headgate, closing the stanchions on their shoulders. On release, the headgate automatically moves back and rests ready for the next animal.
Question: How does the heavy-duty rolling door compare with a bi-fold or guillotine gate?
Answer: This is largely a matter of opinion, but in our experience, the smooth rolling door glides back and forth so easily that a child can operate it and cut off an animal easily. Other manufacturers’ options, such as a bi-fold, can sometimes allow the animal to put their nose in the middle gap and force it open. As for guillotine gates, they are heavy, cumbersome and potentially dangerous if they let go.
Question: What’s the neck extender like?
Answer: It’s a set of vertical bars that are adjustable in and out that protrude from the headgate but adjust and move with the headgate so that they don’t encroach on the flight zone of the cow or interfere with the headgate. They effectively catch the head behind the ears, while the main headgate stanchions close in front of the shoulders, thus exposing a large area of neck for injections.
Question: Do the sides of the Lakeland Easy Catch Squeeze Chute open?
Answer: Yes. They fully open up on both sides and split top and bottom. This means that the top can be left shut and the bottom opened up to allow a calf to suck or for work to be done on the hooves, etc. In addition, there is an access door immediately behind the headgate on both sides and three drop down inspection gates on each side of the upper portions, making it ideal for branding.
Question: Does the Lakeland Easy Catch Squeeze Chute squeeze from both sides?
Answer: Yes, with one simple and smooth lever operation, the parallel axis sides narrow down from full width of 30 inches to 12 inches for running calves.
Question: What if I want to move the Easy Catch Squeeze Chute around or to a different location?
Answer: As a solid one-piece unit, it has fork loops welded to the top frame, so the squeeze chute can be easily moved around with a loader or skid steer. You can load it easily onto a trailer or you can choose to purchase the A-frame trailer designed specifically to take the Easy Catch Squeeze Chute.

James – Meade, KS –
It worked great! My skeptical stepson and the vet both liked it after we ran 30 head through it. We have the vet scheduled to preg check our 75 cows Dec 23. We’ve never done that before since our old chute just didn’t work as smoothly.
Doug B. – Maryfield, SK –
The chute works excellent. I preg-checked with it last week and the vet was tickled with it. She ran the back sliding gate and loved how easy and smooth it was.

Barbara, Kansas –
Just wanted to say “Thank You” to you and your team for the great customer service and professionalism.
We were very impressed with the delivery driver Adolph. He worked with us on a delivery schedule, even though he had to wait a few hours for us to return from work. When our tractor was unable to lift the equipment off the truck due to the height, he patiently waited until our neighbors came to help and at one point even pitched in. We will continue to use Lakeland for our future farm needs.
NL – Manitoba –
whole handling system works real good – saves us cursing!
Kevin C. – Langley, BC –
I purchased this squeeze chute along with an alleyway, crowding tub and some of the panels. I was a bit worried of running everything by myself but I ran all the animals through and it went like butter! I couldn’t be more impressed! My vet loves it too.
