Calf head catch (pic)

[topside1]

From this view you would be looking at the calf's head. The adjustable pieces of wood pivot and are held in position with the holes and a bolt. I would be on the inside of the pen with the calf's body between my legs. When the iron is hot lean over the head catch, hold the nose with one hand, and take care of business with the other....Topside

Looks like it could double as a good milk stanchion for all sorts of critters as well. I like it topside!

Thanks Francis, a fellow homesteader asked me to post a photo. Been using this headgate for many years. Primitive but practical. Topside
