I needed to replace an old wooden gate built out of 2x6s. It was effective, but quite heavy. I've rebuilt the main gate frame and I have it hung on the hinges I inherited and I'm wondering about filling in the gaps with some solid OSB board rather than leaving gaps by using 2x6.
My main question is if others think a solid gate is useful for reducing cattle vision or if it just makes them more stressed. The old gate had gaps that led to its demise (cow stuck head through broke cross beam).
The specific gate is indoors and is part of my cattle trailer load out alley.
