Flared-End Hog Sorting Gate
 ✖  |
"The flared ends deflect hogs inward rather than letting them get wedged between the sorting gate and the wall, as with straight-across sorting gates," says Harlan Easton of Easton Products, Inc., about the company's new flared-end sorting gate made out of rigid plastic braced with aluminum struts.
The 30 by 41-in. sorting gate weighs 12.5 lbs. Wings at either end of the gate are angled inward, making it easier to control and direct hogs. "Until you use it, it's hard to believe how much of a difference it makes. One farmer told me it decreased loading and sorting time by 50 percent," says Easton.
The E-Z Sort gate sells for $52. A junior size model that measures 30 by 37 in., sells for $48.
