The Calving Pen is built for maximum safety and control when dealing with vulnerable animals in high-pressure situations. Designed as a circular pen featuring a full-length poly-cleat floor, the Calving Pen ensures that cattle are led safely into the head gate with the assistance of the sweep that works with the natural flow of cattle. For added security, sweep gate stops are located along the curved panel, so you don’t have to worry about cattle kicking the gate, reducing the risk of injury.
To access different parts of the animal, top and bottom individually locked doors are located on both sides of the pen. If a calf needs to be pulled, easily access your chains from the added back pan shelf, and fully open the 7.5’ back gate for unbeatable access when it matters most.
The updated Calving Pen also features adjustable swing and crowd gates to better suit your operation and tailor to the height of your livestock. These gates allow for 6” of adjustability, which is critical to help with the safety of all involved.
Animals placed in the Calving Pen often need time to recuperate after a procedure. The self-catch head gate is designed to allow the rancher to closely monitor the animal while it is in recovery by opening back into the pen to keep the animal safe. If it’s a simple procedure, such as helping a calf nurse, and you don’t need to keep the animal in the pen, the head gate also opens away from the pen so your cattle can walk out with ease.
Designed with animal and rancher safety in mind, the Calving Pen is equipped with features that provide excellent animal control and accessibility in critical situations while minimizing stress and risk.
Half-Circle Pen
The half circle design of the Calving Pen ensures that cattle are easily moved with the sweep gate into the self-catch head gate. There are no corners for stressed out cattle to back into, ensuring they can be safely handled in the pen. The sweep gate also allows the handler to control the cow without having to physically get into the pen, so they can stay safely out of harm’s way. When the sweep gate is locked onto the back gate, the Calving Pen transforms into a basic chute with a full-length rubber floor to keep cattle stationary when undergoing a procedure.
Better Access
Featuring a wide 7.5’ back gate, the Calving Pen provides full, wide-open access for pulling calves. Additionally, the top and bottom split doors on both sides of the pen have independent locks, offering full side access to the animal while keeping livestock securely contained. The adjustability of the gates also allows you to customize the calving pen to suit your operations needs.
Dual Functionality
The Calving Pen is designed to accommodate any animal that requires immediate attention. From sick animals that need to be isolated from the herd to a cow that needs help through the birthing process, the Calving Pen provides great access to safely perform necessary treatments and procedures.
Optimal Control
The sweep gate enables the handler to guide and safely secure the animal in the head gate. The straight sides on the self-catch head gate reduce stress points, helping keep cattle calm and eliminating a choking risk if they go down. The redesigned head gate also opens both toward and away from the calving pen using simple controls so you can easily catch and release cattle from the pen.
