What is a quad pull calf catcher wagon worth?

I guess it depend a) if you have calves to catch and b) if you have a quad.
I don't have the latter so I manage with a cobbled together piece of junk that cost me nothing and lifts with my loader.

The local western store is closing up and
was selling every lariat on the shelf for
$20, and a self catch calf cradle is about
$1600. So somewhere between the two
depending on what you want to do...

With the right cow it could be priceless.

Absolutely evil weather. If that happens here we would never seed in 2011.

Told ya should have been seeding wit The Rig Pig & Old Red. Could have been half done by now. Oh well always next year.......

The catcher wagon would cut down on man power. Usually we go 3 people on our Polaris 500X2 quad. One for security one for holding calf one for needle, iodine, tagging and records. This would make it a one man operation and safer, security is sometimes not reliable. See how it sells, I think it is made by Real Industries but no tag on it. Bought 49 Hfrs today so for next year we now have 123 heifers to calve out. Cheers all!!

Might not be a next year for some. Fat lady singing her heart out.
