This is interesting. I have been talking to my husband about building one for the sheep. I got the idea from seeing a table used for Alpaca shearing. This will make trimming the hooves a lot easier for the both of us. I cannot bend down to do the hooves with the rods in my back and when he holds them and they kick he is getting pretty scratched up. He takes aspirin everyday so bleeds quite easily. We have a chute for the llamas for shearing, etc. and a stanchion for when a ewe disowns a newborn lamb. Now I want a table to strap the sheep on so they can be more on a level the hooves can be trimmed easier for the both of us and the sheep. When you can, please provide a picture of the table. I would like to see it.
