Built for Herd Control & Cow Comfort

Sturdy Built headlocks are designed to allow animals to eat freely while providing quick and secure restraint when needed. With adjustable locking mechanisms and smooth, animal-safe design, these headlocks offer:

• Easy self-locking and quick-release mechanisms for efficient animal handling
