ABSTRACT:
A livestock restraining chute as specifically constructed has four uprights defining respective corners of a parallelepiped framework having substantially rectangular top, bottom, side and end faces and size sufficient to enclose an animal to be restrained. Restraining structures are attached to and extend between corresponding uprights at respective opposite side faces of the parallelepiped for restraining lateral movement of the animal. Restraining gate structure is provided to be openable and closeable with respect to two corresponding uprights that define one end face of the parallelepiped for providing entrance to the chute and for restraining rearward movement of the animal. Restraining structure is normally secured, by a manually releasable latch to the corresponding uprights that define the other end face of said parallelepiped, so as to restrain forward movement of the animal but to pivot downwardly by gravity and under the weight of the animal when free to do so by release of the latch.
