Headlocks in a rotary

Anyone ever installed or seen some type of headlock on a rotary? I don’t have much Available for handling facilities and It’s too slow anyway one at a time.

We like to give a shot of glycol to fresh cows maybe a bolus sometimes And do all tagging on the rotary. At times it can turn into a bit of a rodeo and a restraint would help I think.

I’d like to rig up a glycol dispenser to drop on top of the cake controlled at no.1. We tag on the last bale on the bridge for the occasional missing EID which is easy enough. It’s a long way down if you try glycol/ bolussing a headstrong cow from the trough though!

The glycol dispenser would be handy. I notice an improvement in the animals that receive it. Fortunately/unfortunately? There are no feeders on the rotary.

Feeding is cheap, just one dropper. We’re going to rig up a yoke on the side of the return passage to do treatments off the deck
