I think it will be fine for yours Jan, they aren't exactly going to lose the long hair in it unless they're moulting in the spring, and the horns wont be a problem either because you know as well as I do they know exactly how to move their heads to get through a small space. I love to watch a cow with big horns coming through a crush with a self locking neck yoke, there's no hesitation - head to one side, one horn through, then the nose, then a twist and the other is through and the yoke is locked. . . . so don't worry about it - get them one, they'll love it, I'm gonna start looking now next time I'm doing beef cattle. . .
