ABSTRACT:
A chute for guiding cattle along a prescribed path in single file includes a directional restricting mechanism that permits only one way travel of the cattle within the chute. The restricting mechanism includes at least one paddle that is situated in the path of the cattle but that will swing up and outwardly clear of the path upon being engaged by a forwardly moving animal. The pivotal axis of the paddle is such that the paddle will swing gravitationally back to the operative position upon leaving engagement with the animal. A stop mechanism is provided for preventing pivotal movement of the paddle in a direction opposite to the desired direction of cattle movement. Therefore, cattle moving past the paddles will be restricted at that location from moving in the opposite direction.
