It has been a while since I last gave an update on where we are.
As we enter the final discussions over our name and, without the resources of some of our competitors, we have decided to focus on building the next version of our website and choosing a new name that does not upset anyone.
We are not going anywhere and while we knew it was never going to be easy competing in online livestock/ machinery sales, we honestly did not expect the level of support we have had from so many people in the industry, so thank you.
No matter where we land with our name and new site, we will still have no ads, no news, just sales.
Watch this space….it will happen quicker than you think (and as always if you have any questions feel free to give me a shout)

Clever Gate Co
Rodney and Kylie Gorton are the minds behind Clever Gate Co. Rodney is the inventor of the Clever Gate, an innovative, full-swing farm gate.
As fifth-generation cattle farmers, we transitioned from timber fence posts to concrete posts, as we found that timber posts were not lasting as long as they used to. It was time to embrace change and we settled on Australian Concrete Posts as a durable and quality replacement.
As we regularly graze cattle between paddocks, we needed to leave the connecting gate open. Standardly, swinging a gate off the end of a post meant that we had a gate protruding into the paddock and not being able to swing it back fully, out of the way of stock. This creates a problem where stock could get caught behind the gate, or they could bump the gate closed, disallowing the rest of the stock to move forward.
This presented an opportunity for an innovative, problem-solving solution.
With his farming can-do attitude and a fitting and machining background, Rodney took to the workshop and created the revolutionary, self-aligning, double-hinged farm gate to solve this problem.
When we talked to other farmers about our design, we were encouraged to bring it to market as there had never been a farm gate innovation like this available to purchase!
