LOUDEN 



CORNER MANGER 



Louden Tubular Steel Bull Pen—Fig. 1164 



Specifications 



Size of Tubing. The corner posts of the pen and the 

 manger, the posts and frame of the large gate, the top-rails 

 of the pen and manger, the stanchion bars and the arch of 

 the gate are all made of 1 Jg O. D. steel tubing. The fillers 

 of the pen and large gate, and the frame of the manger gate 

 are of 1 5 g O. D. f teel tubing. The fillers of the manger gate 

 are of 1 1^ steel tubing. 



Length of Tubing. The height of the pen above the 

 floor is 5 feet 3 inches. The tubing goes 10 inches into the 

 cement (6 inches in the curb and 4 inches into the floor) 

 making all the posts and main fillers 5 feet 5 inches long, 

 except the large gate posts which are 6 feet 7 inches long. 



Size of Gates. The standard size of the Main Gate is 

 56 inches high and 41 inches wide, out to out. The gate 

 opening is 4 feet wide, center to center of gate posts. The 

 manger gate (or feed gate, as it is sometimes called), is 41 

 inches high and 16' 2 inches wide, out to out. 



Connections. The top-rails including the curved top- 

 rail of the manger, are connected to the corner posts by our 

 corner couplings(see N-6. Plate 15. page 1 36). The top-rails are 



connected to the large gate posts by our Interlocking Dust- 

 Proof Couplings (Fig. 933). The fillers are set approxi- 

 mately 6 inches apart and are connected to the top-rails 

 by our Grip Clamps. Fig. 1050. 



Size of Pens. The pens should be 10 to 12 feet square 

 to give the bull sufficient freedom. It may be built against 

 the wall or in a corner of the building in which case one or 

 two of the sides will not be required, but wall flanges will 

 be needed to join the top-rails to the wall. 



Size of Mangers. The size of the Corner Manger has 

 already been given. The size of the Tilting Manger is 

 39 inches long, 36 inches deep on the outside and 30 inches wide. 

 It tilts into the pen 25 inches and out into the alley 22 inches. 

 The stanchion bar can be adjusted wide enough apart for the 

 largest bull and close enough together to hold a calf. 



Approximate Weights. The material for the sides of the 

 pen weighs 29 '2 lbs. per foot. The standard size of gate 

 with posts and arch rail, and the hinges and latches complete, 

 weighs 1 77 lbs. The gate, with latches only, weighs 1 1 8 lbs. 

 The tubing and fittings for the corner manger with stanchion 

 complete weighs from 123 '2 to '26 lbs., according to size. 

 The tilting manger, crated, weighs 159 lbs. 



"A bull in a china shop" is not more to be dreaded than a bull "broke loose" in the barn yard. His 

 giant strength will be sure to manifest itself in a way that will not be pleasant and may be dangerous. No 

 matter how gentle a bull may seem you never can tell what may happen to arouse him to deeds of violence. 

 Therefore, it is not safe to take chances in using a stanchion to hold a bull the same as a cow. A Louden 

 Bull Pen should be used.
