We're Starting a Farm!

What happens here

The host demonstrates a specific technique for latching the farm gate. Instead of just hooking the chain over the gate post, the chain is passed through the gate latch and then tucked underneath a lower rung or bar of the gate. This method ensures that if an animal, such as a horse, donkey, or cow, attempts to lift the gate latch with its nose or head, the chain will pull the latch downwards, further securing it, rather than allowing it to be lifted and opened. This prevents intelligent animals from escaping.

Goal: Learn the specific method for securely latching a farm gate with a chain to ensure it cannot be accidentally lifted or opened by livestock.

bad day for you or someone else now there's a specific way we do everything on the farm for a specific reason so here comes the gate latch we're gonna throw that over it's kind of hard to do this with a camera in my hand we're gonna latch down into the gate okay so this is fairly free we don't want to leave this hanging we want to actually tuck this up underneath that other rung right there so if something lifts up on here it actually pulls it down into the locking mechanism on the gate and that way if a horse learns or a donkey learns or cow learns to lift this up and get out of the gate well he's only gonna raise it up and get himself out these
