[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1772889, member: 42463"] If you build a simple feed bunk that is supported by posts into the ground you can make the access to feed into a catch. All you need to do is have two solid uprights with a third board attached at the bottom with a bolt so the third board can move side to side. If you go in any older barn where people handled cattle you will see these head lock type catches. Dairies used them all the time when people hand milked. [MEDIA=youtube]EGD03EMG7uk[/MEDIA] The one in the video is at the end of a chute but most are set up so the cattle stick their head through to eat from a feed bunk. You can also secure the movable board at the top with a simple loop of bailing wire or twine. [/QUOTE]
