Abstract
Animals such as pigs which are free to otherwise roam in an alley are confined in the alley against movement past a gate assembly which includes a base with remotely steered and driven ground wheels for transporting the base along the alley floor between the alley sides. A planar barrier extending across the alley is carried by the base along the alley to a location where the animals are to be confined which has side edges shaped and arranged to co-operate with the alley sides and a bottom edge shaped and arranged to co-operate with the alley floor to close the alley against passage of the animals. The barrier can expand transversely to change its size to accommodate different width alleys and may have pivoting panel portions to close off non-vertical areas of the sides of the alley. A clamping arrangement is provided which may be on the barrier itself to engage the alley sides to clamp the gate assembly at the required position.
