Abstract
A method for configuring a livestock stanchion between various orientations. The method includes providing a livestock restraining stanchion having two upright members that define a stanchion opening therebetween and through which an animal's head is insertable. A pivotal restraining member is positioned within the stanchion opening and is adaptable for restricting the size of the opening for releasably restraining an animal therein by entrapping the animal's head after insertion therein. At least one of the upright members is inwardly and outwardly movable relative to the other and oppositely positioned upright member for expanding and constricting a width of the stanchion opening. In one configuration, the movable upright member is positioned away from the opposite upright member into an expanded configuration thereby enlarging the width of the stanchion opening. Optionally, the upright member may also be canted toward the opposite upright member into a lock-out configuration thereby constricting the width of the stanchion opening.
