Calving gate price

[Floordoor]

Any body bought a calving gate lately, what sort of price are they? Like the look of the Ritchie one with the fold up bottom for suckling etc.

Quoted £420 for the Ritchie yesterday. That's through stow ag.

Jordains operation gate from Teemore here, unsure what the price is now, but worth every penny at any price. Make sure you get one suitable for c-sectons, little extra but after any use you will wonder how you lived without it.

I’ve got an IAE one here, never needed to use it in anger yet so it’s paid for itself already. After my accident in the summer I thought it was a wise investment

Ritchie may have a special Lamma show price !?

I've got one. Excellent piece of kit and so much safer than getting cows behind gates.

Might look expensive at the time, but cheaper than a kick in the head or leg or been bulldozed into the ground by some over zealous cow.

 

[harperfarmer]

I've got 2 IAE's. Great bits of kit.

I paid about £25 for a manual head yoke from a farm sale and made my own.

Do iae do one with removable bars for Caesarian and a lift up part for suckling?

Yes, the bars can be removed individually to suit the requirements

Yes, the bars can be removed individually to suit the requirements

But the bottom doesn't lift up which can be a bit annoying although you can take the bottom bar out. It leaves the lower gate frame in place which can get in the way.

Where are you located?

We may be able to give you a price on a Ritchie one.

just on with making my own this afternoon as it had to be a full swinging gate to suit a 15ft bay and and not leave the pen open when in use, i don't think it can go to galvanisers yet as the wild heifer that was estimated in june is banging up fast
