Smaller than you think and as long as you can make it.

I'll get you measurements tomorrow if I can find a tape measure

I fitted a iae race years ago to the measurements supplied , after 2 uses I had to chog out the breast bar by 3 inches

Race and front gate

Front rail

Back rail

Internal

This is ideal for a 500kg cow.

Perfect
Thanks H

Not that it makes a massive difference as I can visualise it , but , what's the distance from right angle across to the hinge post on the gate please ?

 

[jimmer]

Or to put it differently what's the shortest measurement of the 90degree triangle that goes from hinge post to latch post

I'll measure tomorrow and take a few photos of cows in place.

For pure jerseys you definitely don't want the rear rail any higher because it's already nearly in the way for AI
