Headgates
Big Valley® Heavy Duty Use M-Series Headgates

Attaches to any Big Valley® chute and can be set up for either right or left-hand operation. Designed to work on animals 300 lbs. and heavier.

The Manual Headgate features the "Pos-O-Lock" Ratchet System which insures that cattle are caught safely and can't escape. The opening handle runs parallel to chute, out of the operator's way, providing plenty of leverage to reduce operator fatigue. Its design makes the handle swing from behind the animal, which encourages cattle to move through the unit. Right or left-hand operation. Attaches to any Big Valley® Chute.

The Manual and Self-Catch Headgates have rounded contact points to prevent injury and grease zerks to insure smooth performance. Both are available with exclusive Nek-Stender® bars.

Big Valley Unsheeted System Kits
A Durable, Economical System For Handling Cattle

The Big Valley® Unsheeted System is an economical and practical solution for handling cattle. This unit works with you to promote both animal and operator safety. Its flexible design allows either right or left-hand setup. Crowding gate includes a strong, automatic double-bar gate latch to assist you in kickback situations. Standard alley systems are 28" wide, or if you prefer, select an adjustable alley system with capabilities from 27" to 15" wide.

Rugged drop pin connectors. You get fast assembly and a more stable unit. Units are portable and retain their value longer. Constructed of heavy gauge 2" dia. round tubing giving you greater lateral strength than oval tubing of the same size.

Standard Sweep Panels are 5' 4" high while the Overhead Sweep Pen Brace unit is 6' 3-1/2" high. Alley Arches are 6' 5-1/2" high. Cattle move smoothly with less stress on both the animal and the operator.

Features
• Floor Straps are 3/8" flat steel and last longer. Won't trip cattle.
• All panels use 3/16" x 1-1/2" center tie supports on both sides.
• Optional Sweep Pen Overhead Brace is highly recommended for adding extra strength and stability to a 2 or 3 section sweep pen.
