This then minimises animal stress and bruising while at the same time creating far safer work environment for staff when tagging, vaccinating, and mouthing.
Hydraulically turns heads Left, Right, or Centre. Extends the neck for mouthing easily and efficiently.

LOW STRESS CATTLE HANDLING
- THE ESSENTIALS -
Temple Grandin endorses SILENCERS.
"The patented Upper and Lower Squeeze provides safe restraint of the animals body, this is essential in gaining maximum and safe head control, dramatically reducing the animals stress levels. The louvered blinds remove people from the animals flight zone ensuring a smooth steady flow of cattle".
