Simple Gate Traps "Wild" Cattle

Simple Gate Traps "Wild" Cattle FENCING Gates 30-3-17 "I got tired of sneaking around trying to catch semi-wild cows," says Linda May, who solved the problem by inventing a gate that lets skittish cows in but won't let them out. The patented gate is 7 ft. tall and 63 in. wide and chains to any type of corral. The bottom part of the gate is bent inward so cows can easily push it open. Just put some feed on the other side of the gate and leave. "They always come and when you show up the next day, they'll be laying around waiting for you," she says. The problem she had was that there were always one or two cows on every pasture that wouldn't come in with the rest of the herd. "Anything would scare them," May says. "But as soon as you left, they'd come out so we just set up a small section of corral with this gate to catch them." Sells for $195 plus S&H.
