Found this link on another site.  Havn't investigated too deep but in general looks good.

Did you see the portable one that the "Cow College" has built.  Scott Levengood has been hauling it around the state, showing it off to eveyone.  I have yet to see the unit, but there was a recent article in the Capital Press (ag based newspaper),

I've only seen pictures of it.  It's mentioned at the link I posted.  It's hinted that it is based on the Virgina Tech design which is what the guy uses on that link.
