Designed for Controlled, Safe Restraint

The 0971 Complete Cage Unit provides a defined area for securely holding an individual sheep or goat while hands-on procedures are performed.

The 0974 Automatic Headgate helps restrain the animal at the front of the cage, while the surrounding panels help limit movement and provide controlled access. This can reduce the amount of manual restraint required and give the handler a safer, more organized area to work.

This makes the cage useful for:

• Vaccinations
• Health checks
• Veterinary examinations
• Identification and tagging
• Treatment
• Breeding-management procedures
• General livestock inspection
• Routine sheep and goat handling
• CIDR insertion and removal
• Ultrasounding
• Pregnancy checking

Ideal for Reproductive Management

The 0971 is especially useful for sheep and goat breeding and reproductive-management programs, where controlled restraint can make procedures easier for both the animal and handler.

It provides a secure working area for procedures such as:

• Setting or inserting CIDRs
• Removing CIDRs
• Ultrasounding
• Pregnancy checking
• Breeding examinations
• Reproductive-health checks
• Other hands-on breeding-management procedures

The cage helps keep the animal securely positioned while still allowing the handler access where needed.

0974 Automatic Headgate

The 0974 Automatic Headgate provides controlled restraint at the front of the cage and helps secure the animal as it moves into position.

The automatic design helps streamline the handling process by reducing the need to manually close a conventional headgate while also trying to position the animal.

0980 Sliding Alley Gate

The 0980 Sliding Alley Gate helps control animal entry and exit from the cage.

Because it slides instead of swinging outward, it helps conserve space around the working area while allowing the producer to control livestock movement into and out of the restraint unit.

0973A Solid Panel

The 0973A Solid Panel forms one side of the cage and helps provide secure animal containment.

The solid design also helps limit outside distractions while an animal is being restrained, examined, or treated.

0973B Split Door Panel

The 0973B Split Door Panel gives the handler convenient access to the animal while it remains restrained inside the cage.

The split-door design is useful for:

• CIDR insertion and removal
• Pregnancy checking
• Ultrasounding
• Vaccinations
• Health examinations
• Treatment and medication
• Identification and tagging
• General livestock inspection
