[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1462060, member: 23321"] Sure do. I use it as a stop gate just before the palp cage on the chute. If I understand right, you only want a couple cows to leave the tub and get in the race - A slide gate would be the way to go, over head antibacks wont work for this. And any gate that swings in from the side has the potential to catch on a cow after she passes and doesnt clear it and then pinch her if she tries to back up- dangerous if some are ahead and start backing up as they would crush her. For what you need if you dont want to make a full sized slide gate just make a small version being 2 or 3 bars. Install a frame into the side of your alley and have it so you can push the small gate inwards, blocking the path. Back in the day we just inserted a pipe across the alley, but some tend to want to jump over a single pipe, then they get hung up on it, and can't get over it, and you can't pull the pipe out cause their weight is on it.. :?
