The best practice with bison is to move one animal at a time through the single file chute directly into the squeeze chute without stopping. Work the animals quickly and let them go. A stretch cloth to cover the eyes when the bison are in the squeeze chute can help keep them calm. Cattle and bison design principles are similar, but with higher fence and a shorter single file chute. Best practice is to train bison for handling making the necessary husbandry experience less stressful.
