Sound Alike Words. Words that sound similar can be confusing, especially medical terms. Words that sound alike but have different meanings are called homonyms. For example, pear (fruit) and pair (a set of two things). Homonyms may either be homophones or homographs: Homophones: Words that sound the same but have different meanings and different spellings. Example: to, two, and too. Homographs: Words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Example: left (past tense of leave) and left (opposite of right).
How much freezer space do I need? A whole cow takes up about 10 cubic feet of freezer space, which equates to a half using about 5 cubic feet and a quarter about 3 cubic feet. For chicken you can store about two chickens per cubic foot. They are similar to storing a football in the freezer.
Otherwise a long straight crowd alley works very well for processing cattle. Most cow-calf operations will need a Box that is at least 12 feet wide and 20 feet deep. It can be 14 feet wide and should be if the handler will be horseback.Depending on the size of the cattle being worked it could be 16 feet wide if the handler in the Box will always be horseback.Both the 14 and 16 foot widths are too wide for comfortably working most stock on foot. A Box can certainly be wider than an alley leading up to it.In fact, going from a 10 or 12 foot alleyway into a 14 foot wide Box will normally allow the cattle entering the Box to do so faster setting up the transition even better. Do not let the width of an alley dictate the width of the Box. Box can certainly be wider than an alley leading up to it.
