Spring gates Batt-Latch - Automatic Gateway Release Timer

This gate release system can be used to open the paddock gate at a certain time to let cows come home to be milked at their own pace. This can save time and takes the pressure off the cows since there is no one behind them pushing them along. Someone just needs to round up the last stragglers.
