ABSTRACT:
A livestock stand includes a platform having a perforated aluminum sheet upper supporting surface, a headrest assembly, and front and rear leg assemblies connected to the platform, each being pivotable between a first folded position and a second extended position. The headrest assembly includes a livestock headrest connected to a support arm which, in turn, is connected to the platform. Clamp assemblies are provided to permit the support arm to be adjustably positioned relative to the platform, as well as to permit the headrest to be adjustably positioned relative to the support arm. The clamp assemblies have a rigid envelope through which either the support arm or a mounting channel for the livestock headrest slide, and a clamp screw including a friction locking plug. Each leg assembly may be secured in its first and second positions utilizing a spring-loaded lock. The leg assemblies are vertically adjustable to raise and lower the level of the upper supporting surface of the platform.
