HG28 Traditional Self Catch Cattle Headgate

This head gate has been the standard for self catch for many years. The head gate can be operated from either side. Its closed opening adjusts from 5 to 12 inches and opens to 28 inches for release. To operate, the two doors open towards the animal, creating a larger opening. When the animal puts its head through and pushes forward, it causes the doors to close and make a smaller opening, hence catching them by the head. This head gate easily bolts onto any of our three chutes as well as wood posts for those who like to make their own chute. The head gate also has a 7-foot chain used to restrain an animal’s head.
