[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1583579, member: 122"] A simple thing you can try is just cutting a cattle panel to length and having it stick up another foot or so above the existing gate. For me, the cows will try going over the top of the gate to get away, with the panel adding extra height they might not try jumping over. I did this as a temporary fix going into our tub and haven't had a cow challenge that gate in probably 15 years. But in another spot we actually welded on another foot to a gate and made it really stout, 2 years later there is a bend where one tried going over or through, so it doesn't always work. We ended up making a couple gates that are really heavy duty and tall, tough to buy anything that will hold up in a crowding area. [/QUOTE]
