ABSTRACT:
A headgate that includes a pair of spaced apart stanchions operable to move from an open position to a closed position in which the animal is confined about its neck. A pair of opposing yokes, made of a durable resilient material such as rubber or plastic, are positioned along the stanchions to define in part the size and shape of the opening in the headgate within which the animal is confined when the stanchions are in a closed position. The size and shape of this opening may be easily adjusted, as desired, by varying the number, size and shape of the yokes and adjusting their spacing along the stanchions.
