Breeding Box

[JMichal]

Does anyone have plans, or pictures, of a breeding box. Could not find anything on search. I like the idea but need to see one. Have used chute with no head gate but they try and look back to much. Guess they need to see who boyfriend is.
Also have tried headgate, but some don't like restraint they fight then. Box sounds good, need plans or picture.
Immobilizer sounds strange but I don't want to immobilize myself.
Help is greatly appreciated.

Jim, I've seen them advertised but don't know anyone that ever used one. We use a headgate with chute. Have never had a problem getting them bred, as we are 100% AI for over 35 years.
Might check with ABS or one of the semen companies. I'm pretty sure that's where I've seen them adv. Or you might check on a University site. They may have plans.

Well, that's a little bit of a lie - we have used Macho for natural service several times on individuals. (also let him in with the ladies for 2 weeks last year & year before at end of our breeding season) Cheating - but it was SOOOO nice.
