Long before barbed wire, cattlemen used brands to tell rustlers they'd better keep their no good cattle thieven hands off their herds. Brands were a source of pride of ownership, they marked who owned what. Today's ranchers use gates and fences to keep their cattle from bein rustled. More importantly, there's times the little lady and young guns are home alone on the prairie. Sometimes a gate ain't about what you keep in, but what you keep out. A Trails West brand gate is fine as cream gravy, and we won't ask you to pay thru the nose or fork over a lot of dinero. And that is an ironclad promise.
