Designed for Controlled, Safe Restraint

The 0972 Complete Cage Unit provides a defined area for securely holding an individual sheep or goat while hands-on procedures are performed.

The 0978 Deluxe Manual Headgate gives the handler direct control over securing the animal at the front of the cage, while the surrounding panels help limit movement and provide convenient access.

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

0978 Deluxe Manual Headgate

The 0978 Deluxe Headgate provides controlled restraint at the front of the cage and is manually operated by the handler.

The manual design gives the producer direct control over when the headgate is opened and closed, making it a practical choice for operations that prefer a hands-on restraint system.

Once the animal is positioned, the headgate helps keep it securely restrained while the handler performs the needed procedure.

Ideal for Reproductive Management

The 0972 is especially useful in sheep and goat breeding and reproductive-management programs, where controlled restraint can make hands-on procedures easier and more organized.

Common uses include:

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

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

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 valuable space around the handling area while allowing livestock movement into and out of the unit to be controlled.

0973A Solid Panel

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

The solid design also helps limit outside distractions while a sheep or goat is being restrained, examined, or treated.

0973B Split Door Panel

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

The split-door design makes it easier to reach different areas of the animal for procedures such as:

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