Importance of a quality cattle and livestock head gate:
A cattle head gate allows the cow head to pass through but blocks its shoulders. This position allows easy access to work cattle in the cow head gate chute. Since we love our automatic reset head gate, it’s included standard on all squeeze chutes, portable handling systems, hoof trimming chutes and 1/4 circular maternity pens. Customers may this piece separately as well.
While this piece accommodates a variety of cattle sizes ranging from calf to bull, we recommend cattlemen sort their herd first. Running calves together and then larger cattle later will save time and require less adjustments. Using a cattle head gate can facilitate this process efficiently.
Neck Extender Option:
Also note that our optional neck extender is welded onto the livestock head catch for cattle gate instead of bolted which increases the strength and improves operator safety. If cattlemen choose to upgrade to a cattle head gate with neck extender, just remove the current head gate and slip on the new one. Many customers choose to a head gate with neck extender if neck stability is necessary.
Real Tuff was honored when Storey Publishing approached us to feature our cattle head gate in Temple Grandin’s Guide to Working with Farm Animals book. Our livestock head catch is designed to ensure the safety and ease of handling cattle, making it an essential tool for farmers and ranchers alike.
Head Gate Helper Option:
Real Tuff proudly announces our newest addition to our equipment, the head chute for livestock Helper. The head chute for livestock Headgate Helper allows you to close your headgate from the back of the chute. When you have a docile cow or a cow that enters the chute multiple occasions over a period of time, they may push the cattle headgate forward but not quite latch it. The back handle of this helper fits right into the bracket of your Real Tuff Squeeze chute. The front of the helper attaches to the front beam and works like a “T” to shut the cattle headgate. This saves time and frustration. The cattle headgate helper will shut the headgate even when the cattle headgate is completely open. It’s called a livestock headgate “helper” and it truly is a tremendous help for closing the headgate!
