Hi.
Looking to make a calving gate to get access to opposite side of cows. Crush was built against a solid side so I am having problems getting some calves to suck a cow with a low udder.
Plan is to make a calving gate in a pen, but facing opposite way to crush direction. Will be too late for this year, but when fresh in mind...
What are the best features of the ones you have or what should be avoided?
We have found that permanent cross members at bottom of gate are a real hindrance for calves getting into position to suck.so apart from that, looking for ideas.
Thanks.
