[edit] "Livestock controller"

The Livestock Controller does not appear to do anything better that currently available crushes and this inclusion looks like self promotion. Cgoodwin (talk) 07:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I did have some trouble working out the principle of this thing from the web-page, but I think the different element is that the floor rocks from side to side, preventing the animal picking up its feet to kick. You're right that the length and wording of the text was self-promotion, but it's an interesting available feature, like compressible sides and winches – have a look at what I've done with it. Presumably the rocking mechanism can be locked, or how would you get the animal to go in? Or have I completely misunderstood the principle? --Richard New Forest (talk) 10:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
