Abstract

Two tubular steel frames welded together to make a triangular shaped gambrel. One frame being bent at a 90 degree angle and welded to the second frame which is straight. The welding is completed in a way so that a hole is defined at each end of the lower member. A cable is inserted through the entire length of the bent frame. Two loops are then defined on each of the left and right sides of the frame. Each of the left and right loops are defined by having respective free ends of the cable extend out the lower left and right sides of the upper frame member, then loop around the lower frame member and secured by a cable ferrule to define a slidably attached fixed size loop at the free end that is slidable along the lower frame member. When the upper loop is pulled away from the upper frame member, the length of the cable exposed at the left and right lower portions of the frame is reduced, thereby reducing the size of the respective adjustable size lower loops. As the animals' limbs are placed in each loop of the cable, the weight of the animal itself tightens the top loop, or cable thimble, which in turn tightens the bottom two loops of the cable. This tightening allows the body of the animal to remain in air for cleaning and dressing the animal.
