Product Overview
Efficient cattle handling
Hi-Hog’s parallel axis cattle squeeze chute with self catch headgate is designed to allow you to process your livestock as quickly and safely as possible. This is because Hi-Hog’s chute is uniquely designed to allow the operator freedom to move and work the cow. When the cow enters the squeeze chute there is nobody standing in a position that will cause your animals to hesitate. Instead, the operator will be working the cow’s flight zone to efficiently move their cattle into the squeeze chute.
Cattle squeeze chute with self catch headgate from Hi-Hog
Before you begin, adjust the self-catch head gate stanchion width to the size of the animals you will be processing. With the stanchion width set, you are ready to efficiently work your animals:
- Set the self-catch head gate quickly with the simple but reliable limiter chain
- Adjust the width of the chute to match the next animal
- Lift the tail gate with the extended control rope and walk away from the squeeze chute and past the head and shoulder of the cow in the alley. As you move past the shoulder and into the animal’s flight zone, the cow will move forward into the squeeze chute on its own.
- Your cow, on its own, triggers the head gate and catches itself.
- Treat and release your animal
The steps are the same even when your chute includes Hi-Hog’s integrated neck extender.
Additionally, by providing un-matched animal accessibility and quick, easy controls you can process your livestock faster and safer.

Low Stress Cattle Squeeze Chute
Hi-Hog’s Parallel Axis Squeeze Chute hosts a range of features focused on the safety and comfort of your livestock.
- The sides of the chute are mounted at a slight slope to provide your livestock with support without interfering with their natural stable stance.
- Both sides of the squeeze draw in and forward in one smooth easy controlled motion to keep any sized animal centered and balanced (32” wide down to 11.5”).
- The bottom half of the side panels are clad in sheet metal to
- remove foot traps
- minimize the opportunity for your cattle to climb
- remove pressure points (no bolt heads).
- All sheet metal has been caulked with silicon to reduce chute noise and vibration.
- The head gates are mounted to the squeeze body with spring cushioned fasteners to absorb the impact of your animal.
- The inside verticals of the head gate run parallel to reduce the opportunity of your livestock choking should they go down while locked in the head gate.
- The self-catch head gate can be swung fully into the chute or fully out of the chute depending on if your animal is pushing or pulling when you are ready to release it. This provides a clear, un-obstructed exit for your livestock. No risk of hip-lock.
- The manual head gate opens to the full width of the cattle chute for a clear, unobstructed exit.
- The squeeze floor is finished with heavy duty checker plate steel with large 1.25” square traction bars for confident livestock footing.
