[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1744516, member: 5381"] Ken is correct. I built a set of pens with a home built platform scale from A&A. It was much more work to build because of the gates needed plus the cage area has to be built big enough for all size animals which gives small calves to much room to move back and forth or turn around. The animals also foul the weight by leaning against the sides or the back gate, When you are by yourself, its much slower catching them, releasing them and catching them again in the chute. With scales under the chute, the animal goes in, you catch his head and that stops most of the movement, no way to foul the weight and he is ready for whatever work you want to do. [/QUOTE]
