I made my own cattle chute between two barns...about 30 ft. long..with the head gate at the end. I used steel fence panels to fabricate it. You want to be sure it is wide enough for your Bull or Large Cow but not wide enough for them to turn around and high enough so they can rear up and spin around. I am not familiar though with the ones you have mentioned. Mine has worked great for me.

I like both the brands you mentioned. I also like WW. Make sure the model you buy is tall enough and long enough for the breed of cattle you have. The headgate I recently installed on my squeeze chute is made by Tartar. It is medium duty, so it is not really heavy enough for some of my Brangus cows.
