Components of an Arrowquip Cattle Handling System
From the moment cattle enter the pen, all the way to the squeeze chute, Arrowquip’s cattle handling systems are designed with animal science and quality engineering at the forefront.
EXPLORE ALL CATTLE EQUIPMENT
Cattle Chutes
Treat and handle your cattle safely and efficiently with a cattle chute – the heart of your system.
Cattle Alleys
Keep cattle moving and stress low. Adjustable cattle alleys help create smooth flow and give you better control, helping you work more efficiently from start to finish.
Cattle Tubs
Keep cattle calm and flowing. Cattle tubs help guide your livestock smoothly into the alley, reducing hesitation and improving handling efficiency.
Cattle Gates
Stay in control at every turn. Durable, easy-to-use gates let you sort, stop, or release cattle exactly when and where you need to. Choose between no bow and bow gates to customize for your operation.
Corral Panels
Build your system your way. Tough, durable cattle panels are the backbone of your system, giving you the layout of your dreams while keeping cattle contained and handlers protected.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPERATION'S NEEDS
Understanding Your Operation’s Needs
Cattle Sorting
For increased efficiency and easier sorting, a Draft Pound is an excellent addition to any cattle corral. Unlike traditional straight alleyways, the Draft Pound works with natural cattle behavior to allow for smoother movement.
Building Around Cattle Behavior
3E Components
Arrowquip’s 3E technology uses light to help guide cattle through the system. From the barred head gates on the Arrowlock and Powerlock squeeze chutes to the adjustable panels on the Easy Flow Alley, you can be certain working cattle on your operation is low-stress and effortless.
Making Safety a Top Priority
Cattle-Free Handler Safety Zone
A cattle-free zone enhances safety through the system, so you have a place to go in case cattle get too rowdy. This cattle-free zone can also provide as a space for expensive equipment, such as an ultrasound machine, to remain out of your cattle’s path.
Working with Cattle's Instincts
Round Cattle Pen Designs
Round cattle pens help keep your operation efficient. By eliminating corners, your cattle don’t feel trapped which will greatly reduce stress. Rounded alleyways also work better with cattle’s natural behavior, helping guide them seamlessly through your system.

DEBUNKING CATTLE SYSTEMS MYTHS
Bigger isn’t always better. The best cattle handling system is one that’s designed to fit your herd size, your space, and the way you work cattle. A smaller, well-planned setup can often be safer, more efficient, and easier to manage than an oversized system.
While handling systems are an investment, the right one will quickly pay for itself through fewer injuries, improved cattle health, and time saved. For smaller operations, Arrowquip offers starter systems that are perfect for 10 – 20 head of cattle to help get your operation up and running safely and efficiently.
While curved alleys are popular, cattle move just as well in properly designed straight alleys. The real key is ensuring consistent flow, solid sides, and low-stress handling techniques, not just the shape of the alley.
No. Properly designed cattle equipment keeps cattle calm and secure without causing pain. Good handling equipment designs reduces stress and the risk of injury compared to handling cattle without equipment.
Cattle adapt quickly when facilities are designed with animal behavior in mind. With proper use, cattle will move through handling systems calmly and consistently, reducing stress over time.
