After much experimentation, Artex has developed five different "cow
proof" latches:
 |
Chains with Slider Latch
The economical choice. The latch is able to U-bolt to gates constructed
of 1.66" or 1.9" OD tubes. |
 |
Self Closing Latch - Double
Allows the gate to be closed and locked automatically from both
directions. This feature is especially useful in holding areas while
moving cows on foot or from horseback. |
 |
Self Closing Latch - Single
Allows the gate to be closed and locked automatically in a single
direction. This feature is especially useful in holding areas while
moving cows on foot or from horseback. |
 |
Spring Loaded Latch
This reliable choice features a 1" round bar bolt which locks
via a spring mechanism. |
 |
Barrel Bolt Latch
This latch also features a 1" round bar bolt plus a keeper
to stop cows from opening the latch with their tongues. These units
are adjustable for either right or left hand operation. |
