[QUOTE="Henarar, post: 7153697, member: 5961"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180121_141746.jpg"]909968[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20180121_142138.jpg"]909969[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20180121_143744.jpg"]909970[/ATTACH] The bar you can see above the cows head holds the head gate from swinging about the other end is attached to the top bar of the barrier between the two sheds with a bolt so it can swivel in out the way, just take the pin out and the whole lot folds in out the way. the gate the other side of the cow will open back across the next shed and the little side gate will swing round so the cow can effectively be left in the middle of the shed with her head caught. these are old photos when I was trying it out and I have since done away with the string holding the side gate and made it so it is held with a long pin but it still slides up and down so it sits on the ground no matter how high the dung is and it tends to stay where it is put just cos its sat on the dung/straw. the little side gate was one I had kicking around and is just right to open to let a calf suck but sill keep the cow a bit under control, we have used this for AI as well and have found the cows stand better as they are stood on the straw rather than a rattily crush [/QUOTE]
