Wrangler Stockyards & Trailers manufacture different models of cattle handling equipment, including the WS650, WS950 and WS1150.
Wrangler Cattle Crushes
A cattle crush is a piece of farm equipment used to restrain cattle for branding, vaccination, veterinary treatment, hoof trimming, or other procedures.
Essentially a narrow metal chute with hydraulic or mechanical sides that can be squeezed to immobilise the animal, cattle crushes are designed to be safe for both the animal and the handler.
Cattle crushes are designed to be as comfortable and stress-free for the animal as possible. They are made from smooth, galvanized steel to prevent injuries. The sides of the crush are padded to prevent bruising, and the headbail has a padded headrest. Wrangler heavy duty cattle crushes also have a swing-out gate that allows the animal to be easily loaded and unloaded.
These Australian made cattle crushes feature full vet access, a sliding headbail arm and heavy-duty construction.

COMMON FEATURES OF CATTLE CRUSHES
What are the common features of cattle crushes?
- Sides that can be squeezed: The sides of the crush are designed to squeeze the animal's body gently but firmly, restricting its movement. This allows the handler to safely perform procedures without the animal becoming agitated or aggressive.
- A cattle crush with head bail: a head bail is a restraint that can be used to hold the animal's head in place. This can be helpful for procedures such as dehorning or administering medication.
- Swing gates: Swing gates allow the handler to control the movement of the animal into and out of the crush.
- Flooring: The floor of the crush should be non-slip to prevent the animal from slipping and falling.

THE BENEFITS OF USING WRANGLER’S CATTLE CRUSHES IN YOUR CATTLE YARD
Our heavy-duty cattle crushes make it easier and safer to handle cattle, which can also save you time and money! Some benefits of using a cattle crush include:
SAFETY: Cattle crushes help to protect both the animal and the handler from injury. By restraining the animal, the crush reduces the risk of kicking, biting, or other aggressive behavior.
EFFICIENCY: Cattle crushes allow for procedures to be performed quickly and easily. This is important for both the health of the animal and the productivity of cattle working yards.
VERSATILITY: Cattle crushes can be used for a variety of procedures, making them a valuable investment for any cattle operation.
REDUCED STRESS FOR CATTLE: While being restrained isn't ideal, cattle crushes are designed to minimize stress compared to free handling. The snug fit and limited movement prevent the animal from panicking or injuring itself while procedures are being performed. This can lead to faster recovery times and better overall health for the cattle.
IMPROVED ANIMAL MANAGEMENT: Cattle crushes allow for better inspection of the animal during routine checkups or treatment. Easier access to different body parts facilitates thorough examinations and ensures no health concerns are missed. This contributes to a healthier herd and better management practices.
BETTER RECORD KEEPING AND IDENTIFICATION: The cattle crush effectively holds the animal still, making it easier to attach tags, take measurements, or collect samples for testing. This allows for accurate record keeping and identification of individual animals within the herd, which is crucial for breeding programs, disease control, and herd health monitoring.
FEWER PERSONNEL REQUIRED: Cattle crushes can be operated with fewer handlers compared to manually restraining cattle. This not only reduces labor costs but also minimises the risk of injuries to you and your farmworkers during animal handling procedures.
