[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1650851, member: 40072"] Like most of you I base my responses accordingly to my own history. If i have a gate high enough to get under sooner than sooner I will have a cow or most likely a yearling go under and fold the pipes in the process. I am at the point of bad knees, hips (older than dirt) so an over the top move is not an option. What I did was use U-bolts and heavy ply wood. I place the plywood about an inch or so above the bottom pipe so a 4' wide section gives adequate coverage on a 5' 6 pipe gate. The alley runs from around 8' down to single file with the gates only opening one way. There are also 'side-outs so anything can be sorted by one person. (me) [I] I learned everything I know from a herd of Salers[/I] Seriously if you are working with a larger group of cattle invest in ratchet gates and easy going cattle. [/QUOTE]
