Pen Gates
Panels between feeders can act as entry
and exit gates to pens. Connect them
with large screw-in eyebolts and 1/2" dia
stakes. Pulling a stake on one side allows
access into a pen. Removing stakes on
both sides allows animals to exit/enter.
Lambing and Kidding Pens
Select height (36", 40" or 48") according
to your animals’ behavior (wild vs relaxed,
athletic vs calm) and your preferences (tall
vs short). We use connector hinges
(p. 77)
or braided nylon cord
(p. 78)
to tie pens
together and snap clips
(p. 78)
as latches.
Pen Dividers
Panels used as a pen divider. We often
use 48" tall panels for goats because
some are athletic. Escapes are always
frustrating—and can be expensive if they
get into feed or mix with other animals at
unhelpful moments.
Shows
The Monroe (Michigan) County Fair
upgraded their goat barn with 48" panel
pens. No goats were able to escape!

Open-air Barns
Panels are used on the south side of
one of our lambing barns instead of wood
or mesh. Portable, easy to remove to let
livestock/equipment in/out of the barn.
Wire panels…so many uses!
Field Gates
Unlike bar gates,
wire panel gates
stop dogs, coyotes,
lambs and kids from
crawling through.
Within a gateway
we use our wire
connectors as hinges.
We interconnect
multiple panels to fit
different widths of
gate openings.
