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

Metal fences, including galvanized chain link and aluminum, have the longest lifespans. Chain link and aluminum fences can look great for many decades. In contrast, a vinyl fence has a life span of about 20 to 30 years, while the average wood fence can survive for about 15 years.

The most common height of a front yard fence is around 3 feet high, but it can vary depending on your zoning laws. If your fence is meant to create privacy, something closer to 6 feet or higher will do the trick. Most of the time, the highest fence you’ll see is 8 feet tall.

To choose where to add a fence gate, know where fence gates shouldn’t go. For example, you should avoid placing gates over low spots on the ground where water can collect and form muddy puddles. Many ranchers install gates at the corner of a fence. Certain gate placements may also be required depending on the type of gate latch you use.

There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.

Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.

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.
