ABSTRACT:
An animal separator or sorting gate which includes a main door within a jamb. The main door is separated into upper and lower portions by a horizontal bar. The lower portion of the main door is divided into openings by a number of vertical separator bars, and is also covered by a horizontally swinging small animal admittance door or sliding comb, and by an adjustable animal height selection bar that may be raised or lowered. Small animals may be allowed to pass through the gate when the height selection bar is lowered and the small animal admittance door or comb is opened. Larger animals may be allowed through when the height selection bar is raised. The vertical animal separator bars of the main door prevent animals attempting to pass through the gate from bunching up toward the remaining open gap between the main door frame and the small animal admittance door when the operator of the gate is closing the small animal admittance door. This structure provides a gate which may be quickly operated with a minimum of manpower and which allows quick separation of animals by both height and width.
