Finally looking at installing a set of weigh bars so we can get accurate weights on cows/calves. Looking at a set that will weigh up to 5000 lb, and will be installing them under the working chute - not really a good place to put them in the alley leading up to the chute.
Bar dimensions are 4" wide by 40" long.
Chute is currently sitting on creosoted 4x4s on top of the ground. Figure I'll need to dig trenches and pour concrete/rebar footers to accomodate the weigh bars. Anybody got recommendations on how wide/thick to pour these footers?
