ABSTRACT:
A farrowing pen is provided in which the spacing between the side gates can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of sows. A series of linkage arms connecting the side gates with the end frames of the pen permit the space between the side gates to be increased or decreased in response to rotation of a shaft mounted above the pen. A stop mechanism is provided to prevent rotation of the shaft after the side gates have been positioned at the desired width.
