Jump gates are for jumping through...by large dogs and small goats. Tomorrow the mini Alpine buck is going to go live with the big boys. That'll teach him.
I raised the gates yesterday and did more of a 'V' at the bottom and it stopped him for about 10 seconds while he studied it. He put his front feet through and decided it was too high to "crawl" through so he backed up and simply jumped right through it, no problem. My young Alpine buck can do it too but he is getting too big so it won't be long. The ND doesn't do it as he is too short and the LM is too fat. It works great for big goats.
I am going to check the dimensions and use the ones on the website I found and try one more time. My wood scraps are getting pretty ratty from all the screws I have put in and out, I may get some new 2x4's and start over.
