    Calving Gates

    I use a Bo Steel gate. Never have a problem dropping the pin into the floor. Hole is easy to clean out if necessary. Also got an O’Donnell gate which pins into the floor.

    Fold up and down cattle troughs

    Calving gates

    I’ve got Bo Steel and O’Donnell calving gates both very good. Imported from Ireland within a week (pre Brexit). Think a chap called Tim Gibson imports Bo Steel ones. May have them in stock. I set the two gates up to give 4 calving pens.

    What vehicle?

    I’ve got a 2004 diesel Range Rover. £395 Road tax, £377 insurance including road rescue (never used it). Pulls cattle box with ease. Never let me down. Hardly any depreciation. New suspension air compressor and rear brake calliper so far, less than £400 spent. Great vehicle to drive anywhere.
