The Best Cattle Squeeze Chute for Up-and-Coming Ranchers isn't Priefert. It's This.

For too long, cattle ranchers have settled for handling equipment that is just good enough because there wasn't a better option that fits their budget. While chutes like the Priefert S04 may be budget-friendly at first glance, the long-term repercussions and cost of safety, low-quality equipment, and high maintenance needs can quickly diminish the benefits of that once-attractive low price point. As Benjamin Franklin said, "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."

Arrowquip has been working hard for the last 30+ years to bring high-quality, safe manual cattle squeeze chutes to ranches worldwide. Listening to the needs of consumers is a driving force in the development of new pieces of equipment and the updates made to existing products.

One of the main problems that up-and-coming cattle producers have voiced is that their options for cattle squeeze chutes are pretty limited with the impact of inflation. Unfortunately, that means that many choose to go with a lower-cost chute right off the bat and start their operation without the equipment they truly need to succeed.

Our answer to this is the Q-Catch 54 Series squeeze chute. This Arrowquip chute fits the needs of smaller, up-and-coming cattle ranchers. Based on extensive feedback from the industry, this chute has been precisely crafted with the features small ranches need to succeed from the get-go.

Key Features of the Q-Catch 54 Series
