Don't 85% of accidents happen within 1 mile of the home?

Sounds like a good plan.

Also may binge watch The Mentalist on Netflix. It's a slow day.

Nothing wrong with a slow day.

I am just interested in the construction end. Ideas for how to have a side that can be put easily, but solidly in place after the goat is there. Maybe spaced bolt holes so it could be dropped in? But how would I make it stable?

Night

You could make another stand similar to your milk stand. On your milk stand the head gate has one solid side and one side that probably pivots at the bottom. Could do something like that. Have one solid side going the length of the chute and one side that simply pivots at the bottom. Come up with some way to hook the tops together once the goat is in the chute so that it get's squeezed.

Meyer Hatchery is hiring Ohio and Missouri residents for a phone/online position. But you need to know proper grammar.

That rules out most people here. Unless...
@mlm Mike Need some more $$?

Thanks MC!

Hi everyone! I now have everything battoned down for our incoming ice storm, and am reading back. Brb
@hippiestink Hi. I am glad you stopped in, and sorry I missed you.

@mlm Mike @Pensmaster @Fire Ant Farm @kwhites634 AND anyone else who has a suggestion.
I want to build a kind of combination of a stantion and a working/ squeeze chute for my Boer goats. I thought I would make it lower to the ground than the dairy goat milk stand, but up enough to help me work, or with a ramp. I have not come up with a good way to make it squeeze though, and am open to suggestions. The other thought was to make the head gate and feed pan along with one side solid. Since I have not figured out squeeze maybe the second side could be like a crib that comes up to enclose the second side with a butt strap. I figured it could bolt in place unless someone can give me another idea. Thanks guys!

If, I think of something I'll let you know.
