Small Livestock Working Chute~Part 3~A Stop Gate

As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. homesteadadviso...
Here’s a stop gate that I added at the back of the Livestock Working Chute that I made out of Pallets. This will allow me to stop them from backing out of the chute, when I work them. I made it from materials I had around the homestead, and I’ll walk you through the process.
This will work for either sheep or goats, and should reduce their stress… and mine. I won’t have to be wrestling my sheep as often now.
If I had bought it, this gate would have cost me almost $200. But, it cost almost nothing... because of the materials I had on hand.
Check it out,

In preparation for lambs you could bolt or weld a panel of expanded metal grate to the stop side of that gate. There's not enough room for a sheep to turn around but a lamb might and end up getting their head stuck in that gate. I would bolt it so you could take it on and off as needed. Plus this additional panel could extend almost to the ground to prevent nose unders. Weld a little flat steel or angle iron to any sharp edges you are left with on the pannel.

totally love using old work out equipment for welding !!!

[@BIGALTX]

I don't throw anything away... well... not too much anyway :)

I think I'll make of these for my goats. They pretty much run in the trailer for corn.

[@patriots1needed]

nice job

[@rosejafari8917]

Maybe just put a 2x4 across the ground level and keep in the lambs.

How did your pallet chute work out?

[@BIGALTX]

Real well. It made it much easier to worm the sheep in the chute than wrestling them around.
Now that I've recently sold my sheep I may take it apart and use the wood for something else.
It's not large enough for cows.
I'm thinking about reusing the sliding gate for my cow chute, though.
