Handy New Lifts For Down Livestock: Animal Lifting Net

Handy New Lifts For Down Livestock: Animal Lifting Net LIVESTOCK Handling 7-5-32 One of the more unusual means of lifting and moving downer cows or other animals is the "Animal Lifting Net", developed by an English farmer. It lets you use your tractor loader to lift and move down animals. The 8 ft. by 10 ft. net, resembling a fish net or hammock, is made of nylon rope and has six cords that attach to the loader bucket. To use, you unroll the net next to the down animal, then roll the animal onto the net. Next, attach the four corners and the two center lifting cords to the bucket and lift the animal off the ground. The Animal Lifting Net sells for right at $80, plus shipping and handling.
