Home made self locking on feed barier

[Hummin-Cummins]

Has anyone ever made a self locking yoke on an IAE diagonal feed barrier ? Was debating trying to make something that works as a yoke if I need be to suckle a calf or similar if needed.

Any help, pictures or suggestions greatly appreciated

TIA

I made a L shape out off 2 pieces off scaffold tube welded together then clamped that to barrier with a swivel scaffold clip to act as a hinge. I made it quite tall so I could put a rope on the top for leverage (keeps you away from cow while it puts its head through) stick some corn in required space cow puts head through pull rope and tie it off to hold cow while you do whatever. Untie and all comes loose and cow goes free. It wasn’t pretty but made me feel safe and it worked.
