Head Gates

Automatic and Manual Head Gates for Safe Cattle Restraint

Ensure efficient, low-stress cattle handling with professional head gates designed for safe restraint during vaccinations, tagging, branding, and veterinary procedures. Bison Supply offers both automatic self-catch head gates and manual head gates engineered to accommodate cattle of all sizes while minimizing animal stress and maximizing operator safety in demanding ranch environments.

Our automatic head gates feature self-catching mechanisms that trigger when cattle enter, eliminating handler intervention and enabling true one-person operation. With spring-cushioned impact absorption and adjustable openings from 4" to 10.5", these gates automatically reset after each animal passes through, reducing labor and downtime. Manual head gates provide complete operator control with infinite locking systems that secure animals of varying sizes without constant adjustment, ideal for operations handling mixed-age cattle from calves to mature bulls.

Whether you manage a cow-calf operation requiring versatility or a finishing facility prioritizing throughput, our cattle head gates integrate seamlessly with squeeze chutes for complete processing solutions. Powder-coated steel construction withstands years of intensive use, while reversible designs accommodate left- or right-handed operation. Pair with our cattle chutes for comprehensive handling systems, or explore our livestock accessories for nose bars, neck extenders, and additional restraint options.

Ranchers and feedlot operators nationwide depend on our head gates for their proven reliability, delivering the safety, efficiency, and animal welfare essential for successful herd management operations.
