Great job! Pallets are readily available in my area for free. You will even quite often see a pile of those things next to the side of the road with a "free" sign next to them. Also, many industries that I frequent will have loads of pallets in the dumpster just waiting to be loaded into your truck. Some local companies will even buy used pallets if they are the right size.

thank you for the video you are an excellent engineer designer singer-songwriter farmer rancher too many talents to list I really appreciate your videos keep them coming and thanks a lot

We just got katahdin sheep and this is how I want to build my chute. Thanks for the video showing how you did this.

I am very surprised that your friend just gave you free pallets. They look brand new, and I know for a fact they aren't cheap. Your ideal for a chute is a good one. Take care.

First, you need to tell people what Wolmanized wood is. It's not in the dictionary, and I did find the answer, but I bet most don't know about it. Now, the chute. It's fantastic! You did a really great job too. I like it! Bless, Sheila

Isn't it great to have good neighbors! I don't have a farm but I live in Texas, and you've got some videos you've posted previously. I thank you for doing so, keep it up. Have great holidays this end of year!

I am going to use cattle panels to make a goat work shute... Finding bunch of identical such good wooden pallets for cheap is almost impossible where I live Looks great good luck

We use saw mill slats here a lot since pallets are hard to come by.

Just a thought. You should leave the 2x4s in were you have the upper supports and just remove the rest on the side your going to work the animal's. Awsome job and now I have ANOTHER pallet prodject idea :) :)

Love this idea, Instead of cutting one side down, since my goats are so athletic, I will just add a raised platform to the outside where I will be working from.

I hope you're safe and dry. God Bless

beats the hey out of my first chute, I used the rails off a baby bed lol. hey it worked by gosh and it worked as a squeeze chute

I probably wouldn't cut down the whole side. I would just cut down a working pocket. That way you could move them into the pocket to work them and the rest of the chute would be more secure.

At first I thought the chute was for loading/unloading your livestock before you mentioned "working them", health maintenance and ID I guess. (a trailer with ramp wouldn't really require a chute but who knows) I think in a previous video from last year you were cleaning their hooves (trimming nail cutting) and used a lawn chair contraption to immobilize them and from that you could do all you'd need to have done (including ear tags). Moving them individually from a holding pen to where they'd be handled, and then to either another pen or exit area when you were done. Not sure but I was thinking that process (hooves) should be done twice a year. I'll be curious to see the chute in action, how it's used.

I would not cut the top off because the sheep will jump over it. Here on the really big sheep farms they put a platform for the workers to stand on and reach over. It works good.

used motor oil will seal the wood and make them last for years. water proof and prevents insect damage. I've used in on our goat pens and works great even on particleboard. I haven't had any problems with goats chewing on the wood either.

This is fantastic

I remember seeing hogs loaded like this ....the very same way you constructed this except they had wooden bottoms and it served as segmented shipping containers.....

Nice idea. Thanks

Where can I find the part 2, etc. videos on this? I'm about to do the same thing. Also, how many sheep are running through this?

Looks good. God bless buddy

There are miniature breeds of cow? WOW!

How has this worked out for you, can you give us a update.

Great video. Must say you sound like Matthew mcconaughey.

Cool

Nice,If sheep farming is a way of good profit.If yes then how?plz.....reply me

I like it ;)
