Corral gate replacement

I replaced a corral gate.  Buddy bent the other two gates in that location when I sequestered him from the cows each Spring.  This gate is so heavy duty and strong Buddy will not be able to bend this gate.

The gate is so heavy I had to place in the ground under the far end a railroad tie on which the gate sits when closed.  Otherwise the gate pulls sideways the railroad tie the gate is attached to as the railroad tie is in the middle of a fence instead of at one end of a fence.

The gate is 14 ft long - the same length as the previous gate.  But this gate is attached via plates that screws into the post - not via lag bolts.  The other end has a latch to lock the gate in place instead of a short chain.  Therefore the gate's footprint was a touch shorter than normal 14 ft gates. I had to add an extra post in which the latch catches.
