PIG SAVER “DUTCH CRATE”
Developed through testing In our research
farms the goal was to develop a crate that
nearly eliminates crushing, due to lay ons,
unmatched durability and be easy to work
around. All this has been achieved by a
unique gravity fllprall that forces sows to He
down slowly and using stainless steel lor rear
doors and legs, proven horizontal and solid
steel rod construction. All this at a reasonable
cost. Crate also can be Installed on an angle.
CONFINEMENT STALLS
Developed In our R&O farm. Our goals were
convenience, safety and durability. The low
back and flat top rails are easy to reach over
with no sharp edges. Stainless steel rear legs
and front feet along with solid steel horizontal
rods through punched uprights provide the
strongest, most durable stall ever produced
by Tn-County (21"-24" OC. x 86”)
