Goossen Moo-Ver Dairy Crowd Gate

48 years of experience

On February 8, 1977, U.S. Patent #4,006,714 was granted for the Goossen Moo-ver Dairy Crowd Gate. The Moo-ver Dairy Crowd Gate has always offered the best cow traffic. The Moo-ver Dairy Crowd Gate not only makes the holding pen smaller, it talks to the cows with the bell or horn which informs them that the gate, which they respect, is moving forward. During the past 30 years, minor changes have been made to the Moo-ver Dairy Crowd Gate, but recently we've implemented many major changes.

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

If 20% or more of your fence is damaged, pros will often tell you that it’s a better use of your money to replace the fence entirely. Severe rotting and insect damage always call for a replacement. However, if you’re just dealing with a few loose posts or a little bit of mildew growth, you can repair the fence.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

A setback is an area of space between your fence and the property line, meaning you build a fence a few inches before your neighbor’s property begins. You can build your fence on a setback—some communities recommend this—but this means a sliver of your property will be on your neighbor’s side of your fence.
