Texas Tough Bow Gates

A bow gate turns a set of panels into something a trailer can back up to. Set into the panel line, it gives cattle a defined opening to load and unload through instead of a gap rigged out of loose panels.

“Texas Tough” bow gates are made to work with the same panels, so the opening fits the run and the gate swings clear of the pen. Bow gates are available in 4′, 6′, 8′, 10′, and 12′ gates. The width of the opening gets matched to the job: a walk-in gate where people pass through, a wider gate where a trailer or a chute sits.

Ranchers rebuilding a load-out usually order the gate with the panels and the alley so everything arrives as one system rather than three pieces that almost fit.
