GUARANTEED ... to hold all livestock. Stream
ers hanging from the extension arms and gate tips (at
6” intervals) carry an electrical shock that disciplines
cattle, horses, sheep, goats . . yes, even hogs. The gate
may be attached to existing fence charges and can be
installed in minutes on existing metal or wooden gate
posts . . . replacing old-fashioned gates and eliminat
