We’ve got an IAE highland crush & it’s excellent. Much easier getting them through with it being wider & less stuff for them to get their horns stuck on. We attach 2 gates onto the crush to a 5ft wide gate making a separate pen just before the crush so we can take them out of a holding pen shut them in just before the crush so there’s always one ready to go straight into the crush after the next if that makes sense

I've been asking around and the more expensive iae seems better thought of?
Are you using this one?

Landlord had a Ritchie few years ago but there's only three highland cattle left now .
After my landlord passed away , somebody else took over looking after them and the crush was sold .

No this is what we’re using:
Biggest thing I could see with the Ritchie one is they have the opportunity to jump over the front if you haven’t got the bar down in time, whereas the IAE one once they’re in they can’t try to escape

What are you wanting to use it for? We've pd'd, blood sampled, bolused etc. in locking tombstone headlocks. Not tb tested in them yet, but the Longhorns will go through our race/crush if you are patient.

The Feston headlock is constructed from 60mm tube welded to 76mm beam, ensuring durability when dealing with heavier cattle. This headlock is perfect for horned cattle as it allows them to access the feed through the barrier without getting trapped.

Lining the race with stockboard also helps massively with cow flow, it stops the horns catching on bars.
Everything really. Those look pretty good, hadn't thought of that option.What are you wanting to use it for? We've pd'd, blood sampled, bolused etc. in locking tombstone headlocks. Not tb tested in them yet, but the Longhorns will go through our race/crush if you are patient.
