Product Details
Gives lambs and goat kids "adult free" access to creep feed and allows guard dog puppies ability to come and go from sheep/goats and food.
Benefits:
- Hot-dip galvanized products have triple the useful life in humid, acidic climates (many barns!)
- Both horizontal and vertical internal bars can be altered to allow the openings to "grow" with the lambs or kids. White plastic pipe on rods spin freely when lambs move through them.
- Can be attached to our PowerBilt® or Welded Wire Panels.

Received my creep feeder gates yesterday and put one up just a few minutes ago. The babies came in even before I got grain in the bucket! The adults were not a bit amused, but they ate up their breakfast earlier. I am super pleased with how many adjustments there are with this gate. Wish I had ordered some sooner. I have different breeds of sheep in different areas of my farm so I imagine I will be getting more. Between the wool sheep and hair sheep it seems like my lambing season goes all year round. Thanks for a great product!

I purchased this gate a few years ago and this is the first time I am using it. I just lost a ram lamb last night. He tried to go over the top of the horizontal bar and got stuck.

This lamb creep gate worked well with connection to Tarter brand lamb pens I use. It is built very well and offers multiple size adjustments. Very happy with the purchase.

Well-made, heavy, and easy to adjust as the lambs grow. My previous creep system was a hog panel with a hole cut in it, and while that was cheap to do, the smaller ewes soon started cramming themselves through that hole—risking serious injury. So, this creep gate is worth the money.

This is our second creep gate. We still use our old one after 10 years and other than being dirty, it is good as new. We do find that a highly motivated older doe can get herself through it, but in general it works well.
