Abstract
An animal restraint cage which comprises a generally rectangular frame equipped with a pair of side panels and stanchion securing means to restrainably retain an animal therewithin. The side panels are adjustably positioned laterally within the frame and are provided with means for tightening the side panels together, such as by means of a winch block or the like. The stanchion means comprises a pair of spaced apart rod members which are designed to contact the restrained animal at a point adjacent the top of the neck and behind the base of the skull. The side panels are provided with axially aligned bores to receive restraint rods to prevent upward movement or jumping of the animal when positioned within the means. If desired, a ramp may be removably positioned between the ground and the platform of the restraint for elevating an animal accessing the restraint.
