Concrete Feedlot Dividers

Concrete Feedlot Dividers LIVESTOCK Beef 30-4-11 Here's an idea from an Iowa cattle feeder. John O'Brien uses 1/2-ton concrete dividers to direct cattle in his feedyard. The solid barriers are made by a local Redi-Mix plant that makes them up for bunk silos. They weigh 1,100 lbs. apiece and can be lifted by eye bolts on top. O'Brien uses them for a loading chute walk alley, as pen dividers, gate anchors, and to make a storage area for hay and corn gluten. He says they stand up to a lot more punishment than any other method of fencing. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, John O'Brien, 5922 Airview Drive, Dubuque, Iowa 52003 (ph 563 556-8917).
