Cattle Head Gate FAQs

What is a cattle head gate?

A cattle head gate is a device used in livestock handling systems to restrain a cow's head securely, allowing safe handling for procedures such as vaccinations, tagging, or veterinary care.

What is the difference between self-catch (automatic) and manual head gates?
  • Self-catch head gates allow animals to enter and trigger the catch themselves, which can be convenient for lone operators, but require frequent adjustment for different-sized cattle.
  • Manual head gates are operated by the handler, often providing more precise control and reliability with a variety of cattle sizes and types.
How can I minimize stress or injury for cattle using a head gate?

Spend time acclimating animals to the head gate, avoid unpleasant experiences during initial use, and ensure regular maintenance to keep mechanisms running smoothly.

Should my head gate be inside or outside?

Some prefer indoor setups for weather protection and rust prevention, while others find outdoor locations more practical for large herds. Indoor setups can also allow for year-round use regardless of weather.

What maintenance does a head gate require?

Most modern head gates require little to no maintenance, but periodic checks for wear and cleanliness help ensure reliable and safe operation.
