[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1067599, member: 3162"] This is trite, but I was burned out completely in '90. No wood for me. 3 inch tube steel 14 gauge verticals. 3 by 1 1/2 inch rectangle tube for top, middle, and bottom. Weld cattle panel to that frame. Weld scrap tube steel pieced to the bottom to keep it off the ground. Move it with the tractor bucket. Rearrange them any time you get a hankering. For bottle calves use 1 1/2 inch tube frames. Top and bottom rails only. Cut cattle panel half in two (lengthwise) and weld it onto the frames 8 inches off the ground. Bolt cutters are perfect for cutting it. 36 inches tall when you are done. All the tube steel was free. Surplus crates but I had to cut them apart and build most all of it with 4, 5, 6, and 9 foot short iron. No problem since it was free. Buy the bent up cattle panels at a discount since you are welding them onto tube steel frames. Calves don't get through and these are light panels. Move them to mow with ease. Half drive a t post to tie to. [/QUOTE]
