The calf restrainer bar keeps cattle safely contained when both side doors are opened for hoof trimming. This simple and effective option can be adjusted to accommodate cattle of different sizes, and is installed with just four bolts.

The Easy Flow Alley Weigh Platform Kit can be added to an 8' Easy Flow Alley section to provide fast, accurate weigh-ins with the addition of load bars.
