Portable Catcher Corrals Cows Quickly

Portable Catcher Corrals Cows Quickly LIVESTOCK Beef 18-5-8 If rounding up cows and calves on pasture is a problem for you, take a look at Jim Todd's portable corral that attaches quickly to his tractor. Todd, who farms near Athens, Ill., began with three gate panels he had around the farm. He used another taller, narrower gate for the front end of the pen. On its rear panel, Todd welded a cross member at the bottom and two uprights on the side. Besides reinforcing the pen, the uprights are used to latch onto the corral with Todd's tractor loader. Just two pins hold the pen in place. Cables from the uprights to the front of the pen help reinforce the frame of the pen as well as distribute the extra weight in front of the tractor. For transportation, the gates fold against the main frame of the tractor. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Jim Todd, R.R., Athens, Ill. 62613 (ph 217 636 7736).
