[QUOTE="Bez, post: 31586, member: 412"] Well, I use a Hi Hog parallel squeeze and I love it. I also bought a trailer for it - so I can move it around from one chute to another - we have three separate farms. It never goes from one place to another until it has been steam cleaned and disinfected. The problem I have with your plan is the potential for transfer of disease. While the idea is sound and the chance to pay for it is a good thing - what about the health of your own animals? I am always leery of what a new animal can bring onto the farm. We do not allow any new animals on the main farm until they have gone through a quarantine period in isolation. Perhaps it is over kill - but having seen some wrecks I grow even more cautious as I grow older. There is also a liability aspect as mentioned by Cherokeeruby. Litigation from an injured party can break your bank with nary a blink. I think I would look into this much, much closer. A neighour who looses an animal or breaks a leg may or may not sue his friend. But if you are a business - well, you are now a target. Just my thoughts. Best regards, Bez [/QUOTE]
