Unistock - Forward Catch Cattle Headgate
From Unistock Cattle Crates and Headgates
The new Unistock Forward Catch Cattle Headgate, winner of the Dr Alban Davies Trophy 2011, is robustly built and can be fitted to the Unistock Cattle Crate MK1, Unistock Cattle Crate MK2 and the Unistock Mobile Cattle Crate or supplied on its own for use in a race system. It has been designed to meet the need of farmers who still require the ease and reliability of an auto yoke but have some quieter or stubborn cattle which will not push traditional auto catch headgates into the locked position. It is fitted as standard on the new Unistock Squeeze Crate.

Product Details
Unlike other systems currently available on the market, which are dependent on the movement of the animal to drive the doors of the yoke into the latch position, the New Forward Catch Headgate allows the headgate doors to lie in a forward catch position, encouraging the animal to enter the headgate more readily. The uniquely designed latch then takes advantage of the animal's natural reaction to back away from the headgate in an attempt to free itself as it is this backwards movement that completes the capture process. The Unistock Forward Catch Cattle Headgate retains all the benefits of the standard Unistock Cattle Headgate as it can also be set in the traditional auto catch position where the doors lie inwards towards the animal when in the set position.
Principal benefits of the new system have shown themselves to be firstly, a greatly improved first time capture rate and secondly a significant reduction in animal and stock-worker stress levels.
