It will be opened and closed twice most days.and changed direction of cows coming in or out depending on which part of the grazing there coming from.
As some have suggested post and electric fence which have been using there is one other slight fly in the ointment, when one is buffering either autumn or spring they tend to pull into the barrier and not move up through the shed or into the collecting pen as such and causes a bit of pushing and shoving around the entrance hence someone gets shoved through it.
A lad suggest to be about hanging a gate of the silo wall 20 ft long and having a swing around gate attached to that gate that can be extend out to the Lhs or Rhs of the entrance depending on direction of approach.obviously there would have to be a jockey wheel on the other end of the gate bolted to the silo wall, would it be possible to put another type of gate to it that it could extend out and fold back against the other gate and close it all out of the way up against the wall when not in use..
Like the idea of
@MF30 gates but was hoping that it could be done safely and not having to bother with the loader.
Just when you have a person in milking that if cows coming in from that block had that part ate and heading in the opposite direction coming out from milk ing then that it could be done safely and quickly without a machine.
Sorry if yee confust now 😉
