A tailgate for preventing cattle from backing up while in a guide chute is described. The tail gate comprises a tube, angle brackets and a gate section. Th e angle brackets are arranged to be fitted into the tube such that the angle brack ets can be attached to horizontal or vertical surfaces. The gate section is arranged to pivot about the tube from one side of the tube only so that cattle may pass free ly from one side of the tail gate but are prevented from passing from the opposite side. As a result of this arrangement, cattle contacting the gate from the oppos ite side of the tail gate will reflexively remain in place. This in turn prevents th e cattle from backing up and speeds up the flow of cattle through the chute. The tail gat e is arranged to be fitted into chutes of various widths at any point along the ch ute fitting and the height of the gate section can be varied for use with animals of different sizes.
