Calving Gates

[Doddsy]

A wall brace from the top right hand of the headstock, to give it more support.

 

[AGN76]

No it just bolts into the ground and is perfectly strong enough.

 

[Doddsy]

Ah, mine came with a brace and wall plate, wouldn't fancy using it without it tbh as could see it twisting with a wilder cow.

Does the other gate on the left open if a cow goes down in the head yoke?

I wondered what that was for!!

Yes. And the yoke is quick release.

I never like the thought of them against a wall, if a cow goes down awkwardly she could be stuck in a position where you can't calve her.

Ive inquired about one today but theres a delay due to brexit, they said i need a revenue number to have one imported. Did you get it from local dealer or direct from Ireland?

Paul here from Bo Steel. Admins please delete if not appropriate.
Great to see the chat about the gate, always interested in feedback as that's what I have used over the years to add a feature here or there or improve something.

It is difficult for us to ship directly to UK customers but we do have 3 agents between Cumbria and Yorkshire and we are looking out for more stockists if anyone has any suggestions.

Anyone selling on your behalf across the border Paul, know of a man that would be interested in getting a look at one of your gates.

Would the part that bolts down into hole in floor not be a problem if bedding present?

 

[Bucks Boy]

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.
