4th Generation Cattle Head Holder
The 4th Generation Cattle Head Holder takes cattle control to a new level, with enhanced control and durability for optimal performance. Featuring an upgraded design with thicker and heavier components, this cattle head holder ensures you can perform treatments on your cattle safely and easily, no matter their size or temperament. The Cattle Head Holder is made up of two pieces - a bottom bar with a head scoop and top bar to secure the head and prevent thrashing. The two pieces move in a synchronized, scissor-style motion to clamp around the animal's head securely and provide the handler with up-close access to the animal's head without placing unnecessary stress on the animal.

Patented Single Lever Operation
The 4th Generation Head Holder is operated with a single, user-friendly handle that allows you to secure the cows head in place with a smooth motion. The dual friction lock automatically engages without the need for a secondary lock or latch, providing secure cattle head control in any position.

Calms Cattle Down Immediately
The moment the Head Holder is secured around their neck, even the most riled up cattle will calm down to be worked safely. The scoop provides cattle with a place to rest their head comfortably while procedures are competed, and the top bar ensures they cannot throw their head around and injure the handlers who are working them.

The latest model of the Head Holder features an improved head scoop which measures at 11.25” from one rectangular tube ramp to the other to accommodate cattle with larger necks. With a heavy-duty frame, you can control even the largest bulls and prevent thrashing to keep both you and your livestock safe when handling.

Hydraulic Head Sweep
The Hydraulic Head Sweep is a gentle and effective option that sweeps the cow's head to one side to minimize movement and control the head. This head restraint is made up of a straight bar that is mounted on the head gate of your Q-Power 104 or Powerlock 105 Series hydraulic chute, and is available in single or double bar based on your preferred way of working cattle. The Head Sweep is controlled by the hydraulics on your chute for a more efficient cattle working experience.

Best When Combined with a Sternum Bar
The Head Sweep does not support the bottom of the animal's head, which may increase the possibility that a cow will go down in the chute under stress. Adding a sternum bar is a great option to keep your cattle upright in the chute and minimize processing delays caused by downed cattle.
