I’ve been looking for a way to design a good goat working/catch pen and trim table. Wonderful videos. Many thanks!
This is just what I was thinking of thank you
I love it ! I only have a few goats but I don't keep up with hoof trimming properly because it's so hard for me to work them. This will be a big help ! Thank you !!!!
You are welcome.
That is super nice!
Very helpful video. My husband is a good welder and can definitely make this!
Fantastic tool!
Thank you. I wanted this video when I saw your table in a previous video. Just the best.
Glad you liked it!
Great tip, thanks for the info.
Amazing set up bro. Great flip table. Thanks for sharing your designs
great video. Thank you so much.
Great video and flip table thanks for taking the time to explain and show it all.
You are welcome.
Love the design, this was a useful presentation! Might have to make myself one of these one day.
Thanks. Glad it was useful.
I like it. I am not getting and younger and that would be a nice addition to keep may back happy.
I’m building one. Thank you for your ideas
Good luck!
You're a champion. Thankyou for sharing
My pleasure!
Greetings from ireland. This is the best table I've seen yet . Well done .
Thanks
useful information we will have a go at making one Thanks
Thank you for doing the videos that you do very helpful
Glad you like them!
Excelente. Fácil y económico!!
Man that is super slick buddy! Could build for a couple hundred.
Since most people won’t have access to conveyor belt material, it looks like a section of simple chain link fence and that maybe covered in more indoor outdoor material might also work for the front panel?
I think that could work. Good idea.
You are wonderful! I'm going to show to my husband. We are in middle Georgia. New subscriber.
Thanks.
I find all your videos extremely helpful. Thanks a ton for going through the effort to post! You said you're not an engineer. I am, and yours is a very good design. Well done! I'm using your basic concept to build a mobile flip table on a small ( 24" x 48") trailer frame because I have a couple separate working areas. I'd share a snippet of the 3d model I used to design the set up, but I can't seem to attach it here.
Thanks! I would love to see it!
i love it!
Excellent video. Surprised you don't have way more subscribers.
I appreciate that!
It's a good solution. I impresed. Thank you very much.
great video awsome
I am 75% thru making a flip table as per your idea, will try to post post pic's soon. THANK YOU! for this video.
Looking forward to some photos.
Have you finished
Have picture yet?
Thank you looks great
Thank you for sharing.
Sir how are your gates mounted. I really like the simplistic approach and the stream lining of your system. Thanks in advance sir
Looks good 💯
well I built an ally way and squeeze chute off your design. works way better than the rodeo that working my goats was before. Also in my previous comment I asked the dimensions of the pivot piece. I made mine 7" from the bolt hole to the back of the chute.
I'm sorry I never replied to your question about the pivot piece. I would guess it is about 7". Let me know how yours work.
I love that flip flip
Thank you!
Muito bom ,me ajudou a resolver um problema que eu estava tendo dificuldades, muito obrigado por tudo.
saw your other video and suggested a video for this and then I found this thank you so much
Thanks!!
THANK U FOR THE INFO
Really it's helpful and safe I will make it thx
Great content
Thanks
Thanks for your excellent design, I have just made a flip table and works very well, heaps better on my bad back, the only difference is that I have used thin rubber sheeting on the front moving section, a possible issue with this is that if a sharp hoof scours it may tear. the only other comment would make is that I found is the pivot point will be dependent on the weight of material used in construction as well as the weight of the sheep within, hence would suggest for any new build do it with that in mind so you may be able to adjust your pivot point further down if needed.
Love this thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Very helpful
That is fantastic
Thanks.
Your flip table is so effective, well thought out and yet so easy to construct. If you were to build it again, what would you change? In particular, would you leave off the three pieces of 1 inch tubing on the side opposite where you stand to flip it in most of the demonstrtion.? Or is it useful for more leverage for larger animals? Thanks for coming up with a "Te Pari table" for the rest of us...lol. Thanks for documenting your handling sytem so well.
Yes, I probably would leave off the upper bars as they are really not needed.
Very helpful video, thanks, I appreciate it! We do the same thing, figure out how we can build it out of what we have.
Very welcome!
Большое спасибо!👍
super nice, thanks, k
Thank you!
You're welcome!
New subscriber here. Great information. Been in cattle business but migrating toward sheep. I’m in west central Alabama ( Tuscaloosa area ). I’d be interested in some livestock and checking out your system.
Thanks. Glad you feel the info is helpful. Tuscaloosa is about 2 hrs south of my farm. Give me a call sometime. 256-668-3014
Great job at creating DIY product like that, also very well presented. In video around 6m:30s you mentioned that squeeze table at the bottom can be made adjustable. My question is how wide is the opening at the bottom platform you have , when animal enter this table area. Dimension connecting both tables together at bottom. I'll try to make one as you did. It will be helpful if you can share this ? Thank You and again Awesome job.
I have it set at about 8” wide at the bottom hinge point.
@@rollingofarm Thank You!
What are your thoughts on using expanded metal instead of plywood & carpet? It would provide some anti-slip protection, as well as holding up better to the environment. Naturally it would add a see-through element. Any thoughts in that regard?
I've seen expanded metal used before and it seems to work well. The only negative that I can think of is it can be sharp sometimes and may be able to cut a struggling animal. I don't think there would be a great likelihood of that, but it may be possible. Worse case, if it did turn out to be a problem, you could always fasten a piece of carpet over it. If you try it, let me know how it works. Thanks.
I’m also wondering if your design would work well as a portable squeeze chute…? Is it secured or attached to the 4x4 posts which are anchored in the ground?
It is a little too heavy to be too portable. I originally tried to fasten it down with stakes, but that didn't work well. Since, I've secure it to the 4x4s and that seems work better.
Very cool idea. How does it handle the big rams? My one ram is close to 250lbs
250 lbs is probably about max capacity. I may have had one a little heavier than that but a 250 pounder will fill it up.
It does pretty well up to about 275lbs. Above that it would be a little short.
I’d pay for plans like that. Something to think about. Measure up your design and draw it up even if it’s pencil and paper
Text me and I’ll send you some photos of some plans that others have drawn up from it. My number is (256) 668-3014
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this info. I am having trouble finding the drawing you mentioned putting into the comments. Where may I find it?

Thanks so much. We Enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing !
Flip table is great. Couple other observations showing skill and knowledge. Gloves as matter of course. Sheep in particular and their backsides can among other things carry STDs. Controlling light. Notice this pros pen system has walls. The animals move toward light naturally. Most commercial systems are see through which IMHO creates unnecessary stress in the animals and more work for the rancher. Alabama has a lot going for it and - well - here's an example.
Could probably use old tread mill belt as the squeeze material.
Great suggestion!
When you tilt the sheep/goat the hooves are then located about your waist. Have you added dirt to elevate the ground under your table or is the pivot allowing the position at the waist?? My purchased tilt table is much lower, which causes me to "bend over" for all trimming . Not a good position after a couple of dozen animals.
I tried to make mine where it would pivot so that it would be about waist high. However, it was still a few inches shorter than was ideal, so raised it a couple inches by partially burying cinderblocks and placing it on top of them. The floor of it is still low enough the animals don't balk at stepping up on it.
@@rollingofarm Great idea!
How far apart are the two sides at the pivot point at the bottom? You mentioned that you made it adjustable but found that you never need to adjust it.
6-8" is what is I keep mine set at.
Any ideas for making a round bale feeders for goats. Like a cradle type or whatever works
Here is how I feed round bales kzhead.info/sun/YMuKYpqdpmh6Z3k/bejne.html. It's not perfect for goats with horns (as some can get their head stuck), but it has still worked well for me.
Appreciate the design! I’m going to start replicating it this afternoon. I do have another question … the metal roofing material you have lining your runway, why? Have you found that sort of blinding your animals helps keep them calmer, etc? Seems pretty spendy as opposed to just using cattle panels, but if there is a major benefit I’ll spend the dough. Thanks!
Great question! It was not more costly for me as I already had the metal roofing. It has some advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are they are somewhat calmer when in the chute. But they are also more reluctant to go in it. Since they like to go towards the light. So having a chute that allows them to see would probably make them more comfortable entering it.
I had the same question. I used tin in my crowder walls to calm them and cattle panel along the chutes. Seems to work pretty well.
I’m actually in driving range and would love to see if u could build this for me and my goats I would pay for everything of course but I just can’t do it myself
Thanks very much. Do you build these for other people?
No, sorry. I don’t build them for others.
what are the dementions of the triangle pivot piece?
Thank you . I bought the steel and about ready to fabricate. I was wondering if any of your viewers actually built one off of YOUR design. If so, Id appreciate some detailed dimensions. I am aware of the dimensions posted at the beginning of your post but Im looking to copy your design. I think Ive got most of it figured out but Im making a few assumptions. Thanks
I’m sorry I don’t have any detailed dimensions. Let me know how it “turns” out.
@@rollingofarm No problem, fabrication well on its way : )
