[QUOTE="regolith, post: 676269, member: 9267"] The cows are very docile. I've been talking this morning with the guy who is next door to the local engineers, and it sounds like we might be able to get a few adjustments done - if the farm owner agrees. He thought as well that the gate was too low - I wouldn't raise it, because the bottom is so narrow I reckon it'd increase the problem. He also suggested that adding a rope with a pulley either end (so it can be pulled closed from the yard side) might help with accessing the shutter bar. Sometimes it's possible to tag a cow if she's just standing there, but I'd rather not risk ripping ears or dropping the tags underfoot. [/QUOTE]
