Non return gate in cattle race

[KeithS]

Is anyone using a non return gate in their cattle handling race? I’m sure Pearson do a drop down one that the cattle push up with their head and back and once past it drops behind them so they can’t reverse. Are they a success? Do cattle go underneath them ok? Tia

Should be able to knock one up with some 4x2 and baler twine.

Ours has a anti-back device like you described. It's height is adjustable via chain links, and it hangs on a spring so it doesn't bang down after they pass it.

The cattle have no problem going under it. We have ours mounted one cow-length behind the crush.

Is it a home made one or bought? Looking for some ideas.

It came with the race when we bought it. Here's a link to the one we have that fits our race: https://nrsworld.com/products/tarte...NH9wSntSTv7vdvB2PAr-fc8mFOgNAEkSpupHSkf8Gwq_Q

Just making one at the moment to try and keep cattle up near the crush when working on my own. Still in the prototype stages. Going to make a strap to hold it up and adjust for different size cattle.
