Go-Anywhere Calf Corral

Go-Anywhere Calf Corral LIVESTOCK Handling 10-3-7 "Lets me take care of newborn calves without worrying about their mothers," says Earl Skriver, who built a go-anywhere calf corral that he carries to pastures with his pickup-mounted big bale handler. Constructed out of 2 by 6-in. lumber, the corral is 5 ft. sq. and 4 ft. high. It lifts easily with the lift arms of the bale handler. When the ground is muddy, he can transport it with a tractor front-end loader. When Skriver finds a newborn calf in the field, he simply sets the corral down over it. Then, he climbs inside and works with the calf without worrying about the mother. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Earl Skriver, Rt. 1, Tilley, Alberta Canada T0J 3K0 (ph 403 377-2592).
