Why buy one when you can make one ? My first one was from a motel that held suitcases. It would fold up and was made from tubing and canvas. I used it one year and designed something better.A square yard of canvas or heavy material with four holes for the legs and bring up both sides up to a point and attach two clips you use on shade cloth. I hang this on a s hook on the bottom of a scale. You have to trim to access the head and rear. AS they hang there you weigh,tag and give shots.This has worked great for the last two years.I did glue a 2 inch x 15 stiff cardboard strips on side each to stiffen it up a little.They can kick but just hang there and you have both hands free.
Sounds like a pretty neet idea you should make a few to sell. Do you have a picture of it you could post to give a better idea of how to make.
whew . . . I thought we were encouraging each other to take the luggage stands from our hotel rooms . . . I just went to ebay, and they're all over the place (probably from other people stealing them out of their hotel rooms 
) . . . it looks like a great (and pretty simple) idea to make one for yourself. Thanks for the tips!

We used a piece of 90% shade cloth I had left over from pens. My wife is going to sew a piece of fabric around the leg holes to keep it from seperating or running. But canvas tarp or anyother heavy-duty material should work. We have about 25 dollars in our cradle not counting the 15 cents an hr I pay my wife for her labor ! Ha Ha !
