A portable gate including a center gate section, a center divide gate, a first end divide gate, a second end divide gate, a first end gate, and a second end gate. If the portable gate is located in a building, the portable gate will also include a wall mounted gate. If the portable gate is located in an area bounded by a fence, a fence mounted gate replaces the wall mounted gate. The gates may be hingedly moved to form four holding pens. When the gates are folded so as to be positioned adjacent the inner and outer sides of the center section, a front-end loader may move the portable gate to another location. The opposite ends of the center gate section are provided with double-knuckle hinge joints.
