Design:

  • Shipping Dimensions 23” x 7” x 2.25”
  • The Chute Louver is designed to snap on at a 45 degree angel to the animal travel path. The Design took into mind cattle have 300 degrees of sight due to having eyes on the side of their head. We have limited their peripheral view to obscure outside activity. This allows the louver to work toward the “Flight Zone” of the cattle. Once an animal gets past its point of “Balance” (90 degrees from animals front shoulder) their instinct is to move away from the movement.
  • Cattle also can see color. By utilizing black material, louvers shade and blend all shadows and reflections, keeping smooth transitions through chute.
  • Pending working chute and design along with personal preference and working style, may determine more or less than recommended louvers per chute is needed.
  • The difference with out the Louvers installed and with them is the difference in “Daylight and Dark”

1.5″ Diameter for Cattle Master or Cattle Man Chutes; recommend 6 louvers for operator’s side and 12 louvers recommended to cover both sides of chute
