Young stock self locking yokes

Does anyone make 15ft self locking yoke barrier with more than 7 spaces specifically for young stock ? We've got Jourdain yokes for the cows and they are great and I know you can slide the bar across for smaller animals but then you waste space and the cattle can move around too much , want to use for 13-20mth animals so I reckon about 8-9 spaces would be about right I guess, they're dairy animals not beef

Those are for adult cattle like I already have , i.e 7 spaces in 15ft,for youngstock you would have to slide the yoke bar so far across to prevent them getting their heads out that you then create another space for them to put their head through and thus not lock ,plus too much room between animals allowing them to move about too much , I need something between the ones posted above for calves and the full size ones like these

Underneath though it says "NB. Self locking yokes for youngstock are also available"

They told me they do them when I was pricing up for baby calf yokes:)
