How long have you been employed with Tarter Farm and Ranch Equipment?

I have worked at Tarter for 19 years.

What is your current position with Tarter Farm and Ranch Equipment?

I am the Plant Manager for the Tarter Tube Division.

What type of animals do you own?

I currently own cattle, sheep, goats, geese, peacocks, and chickens.

Which Tarter Farm and Ranch Equipment product is your favorite?

My favorite Tarter product is the Bullmax Round Corner Gate (2″ 6-Bar Extra Heavy-Duty Bull Gate). It’s the piece of farm equipment that you pay a little more for, and cattle have a hard time tearing up. I also think the Steelcor Cattle Hay Feeder (14G20) is the best hay feeder that Tarter offers.

Do you have any tips/tricks you’d like to offer?

A tip for these heavy-duty gates that I would recommend, is make sure your post is big enough and deep enough to handle the weight these gates pack with them. It’s also a good practice to use a hinge pin to help carry the latch side of the gate. This will add life to your post and keep the gate from having that sagging look.
