Hi first off im new on here so Hello to everyone. But my question is has anyone on here ever made a set of wooden cattle racks for a trailer. I dont mean a big set im just sayin like somethin big enough to haul a few calfs or a 400-500 pound steer. I currently have no way to haul calfs and i cant afford a livestock trailer but i do have a flatbed trailer with steel sides. If anyone has any ideas, plans, or pics i would really appreciate it

He11 yes, us TN rednecks can tell you how to build anything. Seen 4 at the action Tues.
What are you going to pull it with and what is the size of your trailer?
If it's over an 8 ft wide and 14 ft long it gets a little tricky. Wood tends to twist and it's hard to get the rear door open and closed.
Steel is good but aluminum is best.

How much you want to spend?

How about this one? It's only 59 dollars!
