Head Locking Barrier

The swing over stall can be set to lock animals individually at the rail with a 100% catch rate. Built to last with 60OD 5mm top and bottom bars, 48OD fixed uprights and 42OD adjustable neck pipes. Each space has an adjustable neck width so it is suitable for cattle of all sizes. Our head locking barrier is the quietest of its kind on the market because of the multi-control settings on the top bar and rubber stoppers in the locking positions. Most importantly it also makes handling cattle much easier and faster as they can be locked in automatically. This can make testing, vaccinating, clipping, and AI, a faster and easier task.

“Good facilities allow farmers to expand production and incomes and add to the asset value of the farm. They also lead to a better quality of life for the farm family by reducing the workload and the drudgery. In many cases, particularly on dairy farms, buildings pay for themselves over a 7-10 year period. This is especially true when capital grant and tax savings are available.”
