No it's not a horse!
Got two 12' gates for my mare pen. I put in the gate posts this summer, and I've been using a couple of my panels to fill in the "hole". I think I got a good deal, as the ones we looked at in town, different brand, were $175 each for new 12' gates. I paid $90 each for these gates, and they look new, just missing the hinge part that goes into the post (I think we can buy replacements or Shayne can build them); there is hardly any paint chipped off. A neighbor is hauling them home for me, since I had my short-box pickup, and couldn't haul 12' anything in it. He has to return our portable loading chute, so can do both at the same time (return chute and deliver gates); I bought him supper for his trouble.
Much of what was at the auction looked fairly new; estate sale, the guy passed away a couple years ago, or so I heard. Prices were all over the place on the livestock panels and equipment; some went nearly new prices, and others was good price. I would have liked some of the panels, too; but budget only allows for the two gates.
If I think of it, I'll get pictures when they are hung; but no idea how long that'll take.
