Gate needs fixed





poles and need straighten






better yet remove and replace







last adjustments on the gate

been easier if we could have bought some post holes. then some idiot didn't bore a couple holes straight on the pole for the end of the gate, so went to wood chisel , hammer and sledge hammer to make it fit.

Fine job Jody, you will appreciate that for years to come.

We replace a set of corrals this fall at our Morrison Meadow place. They have had the test with weaning and preg testing about 150 cows to see how they worked. A few more big holding pens to build and we will wean and test everything there next year.

last big holding pen I made was with 21 foot poles , a tie every 20 feet with a big post in the center, I used 5 foot high no climb fence a pole in the middle and a pole on top, . use log screws to put up the poles.

Thats a job well done sure looks nice. Now if I had such a nice gate I might hang a sign from a couple chains in the center of that gate with my ranch name and brand.
add how many hours do you have in building that gate? I like the ranch look of it

With help about a day, have to let the bore bit cool between holes

use a draw knife to tendon the pole , if you keep it sharp it goes faster

Our wood bore still has a wooden T handle to power it. Although I miss the look of rail gates around the place I've gotten to like the steel ones for no maintenance and longevity.

Really nice work Jody. Sometimes in a job like that, looking at it and using a working gate gives a reward that is far greater than the work it took to do the job.
