When I first bought the Dexters I also bought a second hand crush. As that wasn't suitable for the smallest animals I bought a calf crush too. The calf crush can be wheeled around easily but the larger crush has to be moved by tractor. We have a permanent race in the barn but the crush couldn't be permanently placed at the end of it. So in and out of the barn it had to be moved. Then I heard of yokes, this fitted at the end of the race and can be swung out of the way when not in use. We recently put every Dexter from our smallest calf to Apollo through this when replacing lost eartags. No problems. I know which I prefer.
