Corner post provides cattle with protection

[Practical Farm Ideas]

Meat can get bruised when flanks and hindquarters are crushed against a steel RSJ gatepost or even one made from box section. Fitting a plastic drain pipe around the post provides a smooth surface which has a bit of flexibility, reducing any damage.

Cattle have always liked to charge down passageways and never seem to have the ability to think ahead, so the stockman has to do it for them. Or find his cattle are penalised in the slaughterhouse.
