Multi-Purpose Fiberglass Pens, Calf Feeding Panels

Multi-Purpose Fiberglass Pens, Calf Feeding Panels LIVESTOCK Handling 29-4-42 Thanks for featuring our lightweight fiberglass gates in the Best of FARM SHOW. They're tough, won't rust, and will never need painting. The gates are made using 3-in. wide fiberglass rails with an exterior layer that protects against damaging ultra-violet rays. Recently we've expanded our line to include several other products. They include multi-purpose pens, calf feeding panels, a custom cattle feeding panel with a 10-ft. feeder, a hanging gate feeder, trough feeder, and a goat/sheep hay and grain feeder. We can custom design any of these to your specs. We even made a headgate for sheep and goats for one customer (see photo). The fiberglass used in these products has a 20,000-psi tensile strength, so it's very strong. You can't dent it and if it gets bent, it will straighten back up.
