November 11, 2009 – Makeshift Trailer

You may remember that this summer, I traded in the pick-up for a new car (and it already has 8k miles) and am patiently waiting for a new old truck to come to the farm – like cats and dogs, I’m sure one exactly right will come to me, but until then, I need to improvise.  The first challenge comes with bringing lambs to market.  So, I turned the utility trailer into a temporary livestock hauler with a few cattle panels.

I just cut off the bottom horizontal wires, drilled some holes in the bottom of the trailer, and stuck the cattle panels in the floor of the trailer, lashed the tops together and voila!  It worked like a champ taking the first lambs to the locker.
