tilt table for hoof trimming?
A guy was telling me about a tilt table you could buy that the goat is strapped too and you tilt it on its side to trim the hoofs. Said the goats are really calm and you don't have to bend over! Does anyone have one of these that they could post pics of? I was wondering if I could make one? Any pros or cons to them? thanks.

Goats would never hold still for such treatment, lol. Build yourself a good milkstand and make it as tall as you would like to reduce bending.

Not needed. Put them on the milk stand or better yet get a crank up stand .
