What I like about this one is that it has a center dividing gate so I can sort pigs in it or load a large group without having to worry about them coming back out.

We have a large crate, about 4'x4'x4' with a small entry door on the ground and a roof that opens up. We built this to go on our tractor's front fork lift so we can lift it from ground level up to 9' up although I don't think we've ever lifted it that high with pigs in it. It docks with a pen or can be set in over the fence by the tractor. We open the little side door, herd piglets, weaners, shoats or growers in, close the door and away we go. Very handy.Walter Jhttp://sugarmtnfarm.comnoreply@blogger.com
