Abstract
"Every livestock farm should be equipped with some sort of a loading chute to facilitae safe, convenient handling of livestock. A survey made in 1935 by the National Livestock Loss Prevention Board shows there is an average yearly loss of about $3,000,000 on deads and cripples and $9,000,000 from bruises in livestock delivery from farms to packing plants in the United States. The producer, of course, bears the loss. The survey traced part of this damage directly to careless loading on the farm. Convenient loading equipment will make it possible to greatly reduce this loss. This circular shows several methods of solving this loading problem, furnishes a list of materials required, and gives the details of construction of two typical loading chutes."--First paragraph.
