We used to have a small crush for holding the calves like this but I don't remember any contraptions on it like this!Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-56890731653850584942016-07-17T08:14:29.447-06:002016-07-17T08:14:29.447-06:00I think your smallholders workmate is on the money...I think your smallholders workmate is on the money Rachel. It's an homemade dehorning/ear tagging crate for calves, may be even sheep and the vice for doing repair jobs on the farm. I think it's rather ingenious and I was very impressed with the farm creator's nous.

Oh, looking more closely that thing on the top looks like a vice so I guess it isn't a crush. Maybe it was just a workbench and some of it is missing, like a Workmate!Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.com
