Self-Catch HeadGate – Secure, Efficient, and Built for Daily Use

Managing livestock is all about efficiency and safety. Every second you save and every risk you reduce adds up when handling cattle, goats, or sheep. That’s exactly where the Self-Catch HeadGate from Lakeland comes in. Designed to automatically secure animals as they enter, it’s one of the most reliable tools you can add to your handling setup.

Unlike older headgates that require manual latching, this system works hands-free. Animals walk forward, the headgate catches automatically, and you can focus on the task at hand. Whether you’re tagging, vaccinating, or performing routine checks, the self-catch design keeps the process smooth. When you’re ready to release, the gate opens easily from either side, making it flexible for any chute layout.

Durability is key on the ranch. This Self-Catch HeadGate is built from heavy-duty steel, meaning fewer breakdowns and less maintenance compared to systems with chains or cables. With fewer moving parts, you get a longer lifespan and lower repair costs. It’s an investment that pays off day after day.

Animal welfare matters too. This headgate helps reduce stress and injury for both livestock and handlers. Parallel guiding features keep animals steady once secured, minimizing sliding or side movements. A folding stop gate prevents backing out mid-process, ensuring your animals stay right where they need to be. For goats, sheep, and cattle alike, the result is calmer handling and safer workflows.

If you’ve been relying on outdated equipment or manual catching methods, upgrading to a Self-Catch HeadGate transforms your operation. Faster, safer, and easier to use, it gives you more control without increasing labor demands. For ranchers and farmers, that means more efficiency, better animal care, and less daily stress.
