O/T Headlocks

greenmachineman · Nov 12, 2012

Does anyone know of a good source for sections of headlocks (for cattle)? I can't seem to find any and I am sure I am looking in the wrong spots. I'd like to get sections of 8 or 10 foot that I can add to the barn as I expand. I appreciate any information.

Search for Zimmerman or Vandenburg(sp) or auto catch stanchions.

Most of the ones I have been around were shop built by welding shops, more common in dairy areas.

Based upon the subject, I thought this might be about a teenager who just won't listen to parental advice...you know, put them in a headlock and give 'em a knucklerub on the head.

Here is a link to Vandenberg Stanchion Compay. It is located in CA - there may be others. This is the first one I found.

Google Dairy Barn Equipment Manufacturers to find
one near you. I might have to change my search
engine because I know of a local one but all I get
is business directory listings for it Google click

Where are you located? There are plenty of dealers in livestock equipment here in Michigan who have them.

Seneca Iron Works in the Fingerlakes of upstate NY makes them.
They have a website. I don't know where you are located.

NORBCO Makes the best. Now they are part of GEA technologies. They have warehouses in NY WI and CA

I can't really recommend a brand that's local to you but I will recommend that you check out where it's made. There are companies that import cheap stabling. Even if they say it's made in USA, if they're local, go check it out and see it being made. The American companies receive emails everyday from Chienese companies about their stabling that can be sold cheaper than the Americans can make it. I will recommend MSD stabling. 100% made in Canada, hot dipped galvanized, and can be made to any length you want.(part of the length may be useless, but can be made to the length you want to fill the gap) Two different designs of locking headgate as well as a well designed slant-bar. Not local to you, but well made and might be worth considering.
