Overview

The Calving Pens Built for Safer Births and Herd Management

Calving is one of the most important times in herd management, and the right equipment makes all the difference for both cattle and handlers. The HiQual Classic Calving Pen was engineered to provide a safe, controlled space where cows can give birth with minimal stress, while also keeping handlers protected and in control.

Unlike standard pens, this model includes several patented safety features that improve usability and reduce risk. The double-acting gate, spring-loaded stanchion adjustments, and patented ratchet lock squeeze gate allow secure restraint without causing unnecessary stress. An automatic headgate provides quick, safe access to the cow’s head, making it easier to assist with calving or carry out veterinary checks.

Accessibility is another key advantage. Double rolling doors in the front, combined with a double-opening entrance gate latch, allow handlers to approach from either side. In addition, the rear panels swing away, removing the corner post and creating a wide, open workspace—essential during assisted births.

Durability is never a question with HiQual. Constructed from heavy-duty steel and weighing over 1,200 lbs, this calving pen is built to handle the demands of daily ranch use for years. The optional custom-fit floor adds stability, hygiene, and long-term convenience.

For operations that don’t yet need a full hydraulic chute, the Classic Calving Pen offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative for animal restraint and safe handling. It’s also multi-purpose—ideal not only for calving but also for veterinary procedures, post-calving care, or securing a cow when treatment is required.

The result? Healthier calves, calmer cows, safer handlers, and smoother operations. For serious ranchers, the HiQual Classic Calving Pen isn’t just another piece of equipment—it’s a critical investment in productivity, safety, and herd welfare.
