The crib is made of the slat fencing or
cribbing as used by the farmers in the
west when their crops are larger than
their crib room. The Stating is made
usually in five and siX-foot widths and
two ties put up, making the combined
height from ten to IL feet. A floor of
boards is put in and the bottom tier
of Stating fastened to the supporting
posts five or six inches from the floor
boards. which should project two or
three feet outside the Stating. The
cattle will pick up clean all the feed
they will pull out through the space
between the boards and Stating.
When no more can be reached by the
cattle, the space around the bottom
can be filed by the attendant of the
stock with an iron rod sharpened and
bent into a hook at the end.
