Abstract

A moveable cart suitable for use on a hog farm, comprises a base, which has wheels mounted thereon, a see-through wall extending upwardly from the base at a location suitable for abutting engagement by the male hog head standing on the base, a mechanism associated with the see-through wall for forcibly biasing the male hog head on one lateral side direction of the cart, and at least one opening in the wall sized to permit a snout of a hog to at least partially extend therethrough. The cart can also take the form of a male hog cage having two sides, a front end and a rear end, and comprising a base for supporting a male hog having its head destined to be located at the front end of the cage, a peripheral wall upstanding from the base for preventing the male hog from leaving the cage, and a head positioning device for positioning the head of the male hog towards a selected one of the two sides.
