2 The Industry Standard Patented Equal, Low Pressure headdoors hold 350 lb. to 2500 lb. animals. Complete Opening-Action Head and Taildoor SILENCER is the chute designed so the animal doesn t have to step over, trip, or jump when entering or exiting the chute SILENCER S full-opening taildoor reduces hesitation when animal enters the chute Patented Door Design uses less room to open and shut for operator safety Soft, rubber cushion on Headdoors/Neckbars helps keep animal s head controlled 130-point Noise Reduction System helps keep cattle calm Louvers allow humans to work closer to chute, yet animals stay calmer Hydraulic Neck Bars move head Left, Right & Straight Ahead SILENCER Chutes are built with a minimum 4 X 2 steel framework, instead of other chute brands use of 2½ X 2½. SILENCER S 4" mainframe steel floor dimension controls the thrust exerted on the framework when the animal enters the headdoor, which provides superior frame durability and chute longevity. Our new SILENCER Chute added 10 years to the life of our current operation. It is much safer for the workers and easier on the cattle. --Sandy Ankenman, Ankeman Ranch, Miami, OK for Healthy, Happy Animals TM Heavy Duty Ranch 2

4 Commercial Pro Extended Extended Model Silencer wtih Overhead Scales (optional) Less Stress More Pounds Extended Model Silencer is available in Ranch, Heavy Duty or Commercial Pro Models Designed for operations of mature cattle and for veterinarians for A.I., semen & preg checking, embryo transfer, the extended chute allows the operator to step in behind the animal. The Walk Through Door (palpation door) is located inside the chute so animals experience less stress since an old-type alley palp door isn t slammed in their face to force them away from the chute and back into the alley, which compromises good flow to the chute. And SILENCER S Rear Walk Through Door sides squeeze right along with the chute sides! The Rear Walk Through Door is recommended on SILENCER Extended Models. Commercial Pro Model Silencer The Commercial Pro SILENCER for large volume operations includes wedge taildoors, mainframe 4" x 3" x ¼" and 4" x 2" x ¼" rectangular tubing, 2"x2" square, ¼" wall sidegates, high test ¼" floor plate, rocker shaft roller bearings, and oil-based urethane bearings.

5 The patented Noise Reduction System of 130 contact points sheathed in polyethylene ensures a significantly reduced noise level during operation. In addition to a quiet hydraulic pump system, we offer a chute without the usual steel-on-steel chatter. N.R.S. has earned a reputation for promoting operator comfort and safety, and at the same time providing a quieter, less stressful environment for livestock. The nation s livestock facility experts are talking Noise Reduction System for a reason. Ensures the Quietest Chute Operation available! It s quiet. That s what I really like about it. We can actually stand at the squeeze chute, and when the vet gets through palpating, we can talk in a normal tone without yelling at one another, and we can hear him say that she s three months bred or she s open. Jerry Chambers, Barron Kidd Ranch, Italy, TX Grab hold and shake a sidegate -you decide the decibels game some brands claim. For years to come your SILENCER with N.R.S. will remain quiet in operation! A. Pivot Controls SILENCER Pivot Controls allow the chute control lever bank to be easily moved from one chute side to the other, or from front to back of the chute. Pivot Controls also adjust vertically for maximum operator comfort. B. Louvers The Experts are instructing on the benefits of SILENCER S louvers! Angled, louvered blinds prevent animals from seeing humans in their flight zone, without hindering the operator s sight. SILENCER S Smooth-Action drop bar and drop pan latches have no steel-on-steel contact points. Oil-based, high density polyethylene material covers the 130 contact points located on both squeeze panels for quiet operation. Drop gate and drop pan latches are adjustable and easily replaced by removing top bolt. Both latches are designed to assure single-handed operation. Side-to-Side Front-to-Back Tilt Model Silencer The Tilt Model SILENCER keeps cattle calmer while hoof and leg work is performed. The tilt bottom swings down and out of operator s way. The extended length of the hydraulically operated tilt chute provides room for bull testing and cow palpation, yet adapts to hold even 300 weight cattle. The tilt chute controls are remote so that the operator can adjust the chute even when an animal is laid on it s side.

6 1 Working 3 WAYS for YOU HYDRAULIC NECK BARS Control Head: Left, Straight, Right, They could only wiggle their ears Utilize on Large OR Small Cattle Now I give shots and feel that I m not in danger. From an Animal Safety point of view, I feel that we can t beat SILENCER. --Brooke, Hedgewood Prairie 6 Even MORE Neck Access G. Hydraulic Neck Bars Control Head 3 Ways Hydraulic Head Control Straight, Left or Right Even MORE Neck Access Added Operator and Animal SAFETY Promotes EFFICIENT Flow No Need to RE-SET the Bars for Each Additional Animal Available on ALL SILENCER Models Utilize on Large OR Small Cattle We used the SILENCER Hydraulic Neck Bars to re-implant 1,200 heifers. The Neck Bars held them well they could only wiggle their ears, yet we had plenty of neck access. J. Martindale, NE Oh heaven s yes I like it. I can turn the head with no fuss, no bother, and it is so gentle. I also really like it for mouthing cows, because I can extend that head out, and there is just no movement. And again, it is so gentle. My SILENCER has made what I do safer and easier! Dr. John Gamby, Chadron, NE

7 L. SILENCER Hydraulic Kick Bar The NEW **Standard in Added Safety** No more posts, no more pipe...have you ever tried sliding a post or pipe in behind an animal only to have the animal kick the post or pipe? The post or pipe can be more dangerous than the animal s kick! Retracted Position Rotated Position Kick Bar in aft position is tucked away in the Rear Walk Through Door not hindering animal flow. After animal enters & is restrained, hydraulically rotate Kick Bars in behind animal, to add chute Operator safety from animal s rear leg kicking motion. Retracted Position Kick Bars also discourage the animal from backing up in the SILENCER Chute when exiting chute. Rotated Position I felt very comfortable stepping in behind the animal with the Hydraulic Kick Bars. The Hydraulic Kick Bars helped hold the animal s legs apart while banding bulls. Travis Janssen I. Neck Extension Bar SILENCER S headdoor is wrapped in rubber to prevent shoulder damage. The SILENCER headdoor design minimizes choke-down with neck extension bars controlling head location. The neck extension bars allow neck access and adjust for different sizes of cattle. H. Hydraulic Head Restraint A quick, efficient way to control head to one side with access to the neck area. The Hydraulic Head Restraint adjusts for various sizes of cattle. Control of the head makes a safer environment for the operator and keeps the animal calm by removing the opportunity to work itself into a frenzy by jerking head around. A pre-set pressure relief valve assures the quickness of the hydraulic head restraint operation yet light pressure on the animal. A shear pin allows the head restraint bar to break away, preventing injury to animal or equipment, should operator error occur. To use the Hydraulic Head Restraint, remove the standard neck extension bar located opposite the head restraint. (The hydraulic restraint in vertical position works as a neck extension bar with neck access when extra control of head isn t required.) The hydraulic head restraint can easily be removed if not needed. J. De-Horner Head Restraint The hydraulically operated De-Horner/Head Restraint pushes the animal s head down making horns more accessible. SILENCER S De-Horner/Head Restraint can be used along with the adjustable neck extension bars and the hydraulic head restraint. The chute s headdoors can be released quickly at any time, even when the De-Horner/Head Restraint is in use. 7

8 Catch em b4 they drop! Use hydraulic lower squeeze to keep animals from dropping down in the chute. Other brands hydraulic squeezes don t have enough lower squeeze adjustment to prevent cattle from dropping. SILENCER s Hydraulic Lower Squeeze has the most inward travel as a separate function. Top Squeeze Lower Squeeze Top Squeeze Lower Squeeze Brand X Parallel Squeeze Others vertical squeeze means they cannot hold cattle up. To achieve maximum head control with maximum neck access for precision vaccination placement, a squeeze chute MUST HAVE MAXIMUM BODY CONTROL! Top and bottom move the same distance = NO lower squeeze control F. Hydraulic Lower Squeeze A chute s hydraulic lower squeeze must be a separate function from the top squeeze. And, the lower squeeze must be designed to use continuously, like SILENCER S. BOTH sides adjust on SILENCER S Hydraulic Lower Squeeze and a side exit is available on one or both sides, as well as a full-sized droppan. SILENCER S dual cylinder Hydraulic Lower Squeeze system is designed for operations requiring adjustment from large to small livestock quickly. The standard mechanical lower squeeze latch adjusts the chute s lower panels, and the shaft flips up for easy clean-out. K. Rebar Floor SILENCER S optional slotted high test rebar floor will outlast the mild steel ¾" channel slotted floors used on other chute brands. 8 SILENCER Chutes utilize 4 squeeze panel connector points with large gussets. SILENCER gussets on the chute s top main frame equalize the squeeze pressure from front to rear on squeeze panels. To cut costs, some chutes use only 2 squeeze connector points, creating a twisting effect on the squeeze gates, with most of the pressure being at the front of the chute. This twisting effect starts breakage and leads to frame failure. SILENCER S Drop Bars are replaceable on Heavy Duty and Commercial Pro Models. Take out bolt, remove drop bar, clean out hair and debris, and re-install drop bar to add years to your chute life.

9 c. Sidegate Options Rear Walk Through Door Standard Sidegate Total Body Access from Floor 31" D. Rear Walk Through Doors 26" Rear Walk Through Doors (palpation doors) are available on SILENCER Extended Ranch, Extended Heavy Duty and Extended Commercial Pro Chute Models. Extended Model Chutes are built extra long to allow the operator to completely step in behind the animal in the chute. Anything less is not a true palpation door. And, SILENCER S Rear Walk Through Door sides squeeze along with the chute sides. The rear walk through door is an option also available on standard length SILENCER chutes to be used for cutting bulls or for use with yearling/smaller cattle. SILENCER S drop panels are poly-sleeved for N.R.S. and are constructed of high test 45,000 PSI steel & are designed for full access to entire bottom of the animal; door can easily be removed by sliding lowered door to one side. Short Yearling Gate (Lowered dropbar area for more body access on lightweight cattle; same overall chute dimensions.) Short Yearling Total Body Access from Floor: 27 1/2" (Standard Sidegate) or 29" (Side Exit) Easy neck access, even animals weighing under 500 pounds. E. Additional Neck Access Precision vaccination placement with 16" total extra neck access per sidegate Only SILENCER provides the most neck injection area while still holding the animal securely for precision vaccination on 350 lb. to 2500 lb. animals. Some chutes on the market have a design flaw of about 11 inches of inaccessible neck area per sidegate. Side Exit (Front Pivot) Side Exit (Rear Pivot) A dual side exit allows the chute to be used for fitting. Side Exit Total Body Access from Floor 32 1/2" We think welded on components only hinder a sound maintenance program. SILENCER S drop latches and drop bars are replaceable and the oil-based urethane bearings are self lubricating, non-corrosive and easily replaceable. Our greaseable rocker shaft roller bearings provide extra smooth action and long life on Heavy Duty and Commercial Pro Models. SILENCER S modular design makes replacement of all main pivot points simple. Head and taildoors are interchangeable by quickly removing bolts and nuts. Grease zerks are installed for superior maintenance. M. Brisket Bar May be used on mature animals. Bar is easily removed by loosening two acorn nuts. Precision vaccination placement with 16" total neck access per sidegate. SILENCER S main cylinder pins and roller bearings are greaseable for superior maintenance on SILENCER Heavy Duty and Commercial Pro Models. 9

Trip Rail NO Head Control Patented complete openingaction headdoor maintains equal pressure on animal, top to bottom, reducing animal stress and injury and putting more $$$ in your pocket. At a factory setting of only 200 psi-top to bottom- the patented SILENCER head and taildoor design is guaranteed to hold 350 to 2500 lb. animals. And anywhere the animal s head or neck touches the SILENCER is cushioned with belting. SILENCER S full-opening taildoor and headdoor has provided the industry s most advantageous flow into and out of the chute for maximum processing efficiency. The animal enters (and also exits) SILENCER S doors without hesitation since the fullopening doors don t obstruct the animal s flight zone. SILENCER S hindrance-free entrance to the chute promotes a calm animal in the chute and, then a smooth, injury-free exit. Even full-term cows and herd bulls enter and exit SILENCER S full-opening head and taildoors without hanging up lower body. EQUAL PRESSURE = LESS INJURIES SILENCER is the only Chute with true equal pressure-top to bottom for maximum animal control and extended chute life! Compare Compare Brand X Old Style Nutcracker scissor gate INCREASING PRESSURE low pressure highest pressure Brand X Brand X The narrow V on scissorgate chutes hinders processing efficiency. Animals, hesitate, jump or balk at entering a scissorgate since the narrowness of the V obstructs the animal s flight zone. Lunging or jumping to fight its way through the scissor V creates a stressed, excited animal in the chute. The animal will go through the same ordeal to exit a scissorgate chute. Today s bovine, with a thicker body and shorter legs, will hang-up the lower body at the narrow part of the scissor V where pressure is the most intense. The narrowness at the bottom of a scissor V presents a problem if an animal goes down in the chute. For an animal to stand, it must have the room for a forward motion to position the feet under the body. The V d scissor design lacks the room needed for this forward motion. And an animal down in the scissor chute cannot drag its body through the narrow part of the scissor V. 12 I ve routinely observed Scissor-Gated chutes choking 5% of the animals at feedlots. My SILENCER figures indicate a choke only ONCE in about 2,000 head or.05%. The Late John Brethour, Ultrasound Pioneer.

Hydraulic Chutes 2. Hydraulic Chutes It s a fact! SILENCER minimizes the shoulder bruising and choking that scissorgates are known to cause. We have 5 SILENCER chutes for a variety of reasons...silencer chutes are quiet and don t rattle, cattle flow is excellent, neck injection capability is superb, and the chutes are very low maintenance. SILENCER chutes are just an all around good machine! Trent Horton, Horton Feedlot, LaSalle, CO Dehorning is the processing operation in which we heavily utilize the Hydraulic Neck Bars. They are extremely effective in allowing us to position and hold the head of the animals, so that we can dehorn quickly in a way that is safe for the processing crew as well as the cattle. We appreciate that no changes have to be made to the chute between various sizes & types of cattle. Brian Barnhardt, Lebo, KS We got along so well with the SILENCER in our feedlot that we purchased a SILENCER with a yoke carrier for cow/calf use.
