If You Are in the Market for a Headgate for Your Cattle, DS Livestock Equipment Can Help!

When it comes to housing cattle, it’s important to have the right kind of equipment to run your business, farm or ranch. Headgates are a livestock handling equipment staple. No matter where you want your headgate to be placed, how easy it is to use will make all the difference in how effectively the daily handling of your cattle is carried out.

Cattle handling systems are crucial because they allow you to handle your animals humanely while also protecting the handler. If you don’t have a headgate you can’t easily treat a sick or injured animal even when a veterinarian is called out to treat it. When it comes to vaccinating your cattle, without a headgate it can’t be done safely and can endanger the health of the animal where it can potentially die.

Headgates are also important when your cattle must be corralled to be sold or slaughtered. Without a headgate, the animals will be hard to handle as they aren’t used to being in a closed-in area. For harvesting beef, this may negatively impact the flavor and texture, compromising it. The easier you can make the job of capturing and restraining your cattle, the more smoothly everything will ultimately run.

Having the right equipment for day-to-day use is crucial when handling your livestock. At D-S Livestock Equipment we offer a variety of headgate options when you need them, thanks to our well-stocked inventory.
