    Never saw them anywhere

    But I'd say that places that have creep feeders would also have them.

    Any of the agricultural engineering firms have similar gates marketed as creep gates.

    Try "Bo steel" based in Galway but have distribution in many areas Nationwide. Paul is the head man and is very approachable. If he doesn't have them he would make them for you it's that kinda place. I've no affiliation to the company other then I've bought other products from them and was very happy with them

    Gibney Steel Products in Oldcastle, Co. Meath make these type of field creep gates. I have one here and they are a great job. Much stronger than a standard heavy duty field gate.

    Are you near any Coop Superstore (Dairygold). They stock Gibney and they could order for you.

    Ring Gibney and they will tell you their nearest agent.

    By the way, if you get one make sure that you get 3 removeable uprights with it. I only got 2 with mine. You need 3 to block the gate completely. After ringing Gibney, they told me to ring the place I got it from. They kept acting the bollix, so I welded up one of my own.

    Gibney have great stuff. Bought a calving gate off them at the ploughing.... V easy to deal with.

    thanks a mil, you have a nice permanent set up there.

    My plan is a little different as i want gate to allow calves move ahead of the cows and also maybe feed calves....my logic is to drive 2 paling posts..tie the pass through gate at end of paddock..and let the calves walk through.

    You could be best get a local handy person weld you something for 2/3 calves to pass through
    Anything bigger would be too heavy to carry

    Would it be lighter work on yourself to do a creep in the electric fence by just having the wire high enough to let the calves under but low enough to catch the cows
