A-25 & A-25T Automatic Self-Catching Headgate

The A-25 and A-25T are excellent headgates for one-man cattle handling, allowing the operator to be behind the animal while it catches itself.

• Spring assisted gates automatically return to the catch position when the release control rod is reversed. The control rod allows you to release and prod the animal from behind for exit.
• A positive tie rod synchronizes the doors, eliminating troublesome chains or cables.
• Fully opening doors provide a wide exit and help prevent animals from stumbling or jumping when exiting.
• Two simple neck and head adjustments allow you to change from large to small animals in a few seconds.
• Controls can be switched from right to left hand in a few seconds to match your site requirements.

Model 30 & 30T Heavy-Duty Manual Headgate

The Model 30L manual headgate is ruggedly built to handle small calves or your largest bull. This headgate has earned the reputation as the toughest, most dependable headgate in the industry. Now available with optional neck bars and a manual headsweep to control the animal’s head movement. Working on the head and neck area of cattle has never been easier.

• Parallel opening doors and a low step over help prevent a downed animal from choking.
• Gate closes down to 3” to hold small calves and latches up to 18” to hold your largest bulls.
• A unique hinging system and slides push dirt and manure to the outside with each opening, eliminating build-up and door jams.
• Improved positive ratchet lock not affected by weather conditions.
• Fully opening doors provide a wide exit and prevent animals from stumbling or jumping when exiting.
• The Model 30T has 6 more inches of gate clearance height and a beefed up control handle for working large bulls, taller exotics or bison. Specify left or right handle control (from rear of chute) when ordering.

The Model 75 Hydraulic Headgate features “Complete Parallel Closing Action” top-to-bottom, eliminating possible choking and providing a clean, wide opening for cattle to exit the headgate without injuries.

Model 750 Hydraulic Squeeze Chute

The Model 750 is the first hydraulic chute designed so the chute sides close completely from top to bottom instead of the scissor-type action currently available. A “live” bottom is naturally built into the closing action of the chute. The operator controls how hard cattle hit the headgate by limiting the chute width, significantly reducing the risk of bruising. This is a great chute for feedlots, sale-barns, cow-calf operations and veterinarians. Options include 3-gauge wire flooring, removable brisket bar, reversible headsweep, palpation cage, “headgate” style tailgate, Tru-Test weighing systems and portable or stationary models. Neck access doors available.

Squeeze Chute

Both sides of the chute swing in or out for complete access to the animal and three-way sorting. Vertical restraining pipe allows the chute to be used as a grooming, milking or nursing chute. A ratchet bar for squeezing the animal is mounted on the left door. A sliding tailgate locks down and is rope actuated. Wood floor furnished by the customer slides into the floor mounting channels. Optional palpation cage and 3 point hitch.

Small Animal Tip Chute

The For-Most small animal tip chute features a rugged self catching headgate. This allows the operator to be behind the animal and have the animal catch themselves with little or no assistance. This chute is designed to handle calves, sheep and goats with less stress on animal and operator. The For-Most small animal tip chute is heavy duty enough to handle small animals up to 450 pounds. The tip chute has a bottom width adjustment from 5 to 9 inches. T­he table is also equipped with a friction type squeeze to get a firm hold on any size animal.
