Calving gates are an ideal product to aid this process. In response to many requests, Tully Forge has developed a range of calving gate options.

Adjustable gates are available to attach to the sculling gate and form a pin.

The divided calving gate is another popular option that we manufacture. This system allows the farmer to make use of the feeding passage as well as the calving cubical. The sculling gate is retrofitted into a barrier and the calving gate, which can be attached either side, is hung off the post. The gate is then secured with a chain. This option also incorporates a quick release on the sculling gate. The calving gate can be sold separately and used as part of a crush.
