Collapsible 3 in 1 Calving Gate

[sjewart]

Looking to purchase a new collapsible 3 in 1 calving gate.

Would purchase this one attached but the cost to deliver from Ireland is proving prohibitive.

Does anyone know of a company selling very similar in Scotland?

I looked at buying one earlier this year.
Was advised to purchase better gate from Teemore Engineering.
It is all one gate which means that you don't have to drop a pin down into the floor. Not much fun when it is deep in bedding.
The smaller gate is hung on the main gate so that there is no opening between the two pens when it is in use.
Teemore also do the cheaper 3 in 1.
I'm sure they deliver to mainland as they do cubicles etc also.

The one we got was the EX5.

IAE an Ritchey both make them. IAE one has removeable bars for suckling calf or C-sections.

They aren't pinned in ground and collapsible though.

Would need to be...it was not cheap!

I went to see them at another farm. He had perhaps 6 of them and had sold the 3 in 1 gates that he had previously. (Suckler herd)

Ours, mounted on a plate through the wall, has 2 height settings, as on straw

Usually keep it out, calves love it as a safe area

A bit of bar fashioned to keep it in place, have 1 top and bottom but usually just need the bottom one, pull a pin to fold, pull 2 & carry the lot out.

@sjewart , a dairy farm near here has the Irish gate, he says it's the best thing he's ever bought.
I'm looking at getting one now.
What was the delivery cost?

The O'Donnell Engineering from Tipperary, Southern Ireland calving gate that iv attached pics of with my post is €390 to deliver + €400 for the kit - works out just over £700.

I'm having another Irish gate delivered tomorrow for me to have a look at. It's a Teemore Engineering, Enniskillen, Northern Ireland gate. It doesn't fold back flat to wall like the one iv attached pics of but it should be stronger as the yoke is attached to two posts (not my brick wall) and should be easy enough to remove when I need shed for sheep only.

Teemore c-section gate is fab, well worth the money

@Dman2 has just bought one.

I've a gate in each of 4 pens of cattle, but mine are home made from scrap 40mm box section, 2.4m long.

Teemore c-section gate is fab, well worth the money
