The Only Calving Pen Built for Maximum Safety and Full Access
The Calving Pen is built for maximum safety, control, and low-stress livestock handling when working with vulnerable animals in high-pressure situations. Designed as a circular pen, the Calving Pen works with cattle's instincts, naturally guiding them safely into the head gate using a sweep gate with stops for handler safety.
Traction from the full-length poly-cleat floor provides stability, lowering animal stress and improving confidence. To access different parts of the animal, top and bottom, individually locked doors are located on both sides of the pen. If a calf needs to be pulled, fully open the 7.5’ back gate for unbeatable access when it matters most.
The Calving Pen also features adjustable swing and crowd gates to better suit your operation and tailor to the height of your livestock. These gates allow for 6” of adjustability, which is critical to help with the safety of all involved.
Animals placed in the Calving Pen often need time to recuperate after a procedure. The self-catch head gate is designed to open back into the pen to keep the animal safe while allowing the rancher to closely monitor the animal while it is in recovery. If it’s a simple procedure, such as helping a calf nurse, and you don’t need to keep the animal in the pen, the head gate also opens away from the pen so your cattle can walk out with ease.
Designed with animal and rancher safety in mind, the Calving Pen is equipped with features that provide excellent animal control and accessibility in critical situations while minimizing stress and risk.

Calving Pen Features
Half-Circle Pen
The half circle design of the Calving Pen ensures that cattle are easily moved with the sweep gate into the self-catch head gate. With no corners for stressed-out cattle to back into, they can be safely handled in the pen. The sweep gate also allows the handler to control the cow without having to physically get into the pen, so they can stay safely out of harm’s way.
When the sweep gate is locked onto the back gate, the Calving Pen transforms into a basic chute with a full-length poly-cleat floor to keep cattle stationary when undergoing a procedure.
Better Access
Featuring a wide 7.5’ back gate, the Calving Pen provides full, wide-open access for pulling calves. Additionally, the top and bottom split doors on both sides of the pen have independent locks, offering full side access to the animal while keeping livestock securely contained.
The adjustability of the gates also allows you to customize the calving pen to suit your operation's needs. For added flexibility, the entire pen can be carried by tractor while fully assembled, saving time and effort when moving between locations.
Dual Functionality
The Calving Pen is designed to accommodate any animal that requires immediate attention. From sick animals that need to be isolated from the herd to a cow that needs help through the birthing process, the Calving Pen provides great access to safely perform necessary treatments and procedures.
Optimal Control
The sweep gate enables the handler to guide and safely secure the animal in the head gate. The straight sides on the self-catch head gate reduce stress points, helping keep cattle calm and eliminating a choking risk if they go down. The redesigned head gate also opens both toward and away from the calving pen using simple controls so you can easily catch and release cattle from the pen.
The Head Gate Hiplock Release (the first ever on a self-catch) and straight vertical locks make releasing cattle under pressure easier and safer than ever.

CALVING PEN REVIEWS
OVERVIEW
had the pleasure of working with a client with an Arrowquip calving pen recently and very pleased with the features of it - so much so thinking of getting one to have at home base for clients to haul cattle in for dystocias. the cattle walked into pen very easily and naturally go along the back curve - the headgate design is smart and positive and they readily locked. access to the back end of the cow was easy with positive chain latch of swing gate to far side, allowing curved back gate to open. what i really liked about this was the width available to access the cow once down and delivery occuring - makes it so much easier for her to lie down normally and much safer than deliveries in a regular chute(esp those with fixed sides). For cases that will require a surgical approach - the split gates high and low along side the cow allow easy access to the flank for a c-sec. Excellent equipment and keep on being pleased with Arrowquip's continuing to evolve and better their already terrific product. JHvmd - New Jersey
I purchased the arrowquip calving pen about a month ago and when it arrived I was very impressed. Very well made ,the set up was easy, and I can say after two weeks of using it I love it. Whether it be having to pull a calf or get a calf sucking, this calving pen makes all those jobs that much easier. With this design the cattle naturally go into the head gate with no fuss compared to other calving pens that I have used in the past. Easy to operate, very low stress, and would highly recommend for anyone looking for their next calving pen. In my mind it's the best calving pen on the market.
We used an outdated maternity pen set-up for way too long. Every procedure in the old set- up resulted in difficult deliveries frayed nerves, dangerous situations and agitated cattle. We started looking at buying a maternity pen and after all our research we settled on Arrowquips maternity pen and I'm so glad we did. Assisting a cow is no longer a nerve racking experience. The maternity pen is secure, solidly built, safe, multi-functional and easy to use. The perfect piece of equipment for the common- sense cowman. Parker Lyman Cattle Foreman
I purchased an Arrowquip maternity pen in the fall of 2021 for the upcoming 2022 calving season. We had always had a small, home built chute that hinged at the head gate against the wall with a butt chain to lid it closed. To say things sometimes got a little western could be an understatement. With the family farm, a father getting closer to retirement, myself working off farm, and a wife who also works off farm part time, I needed something that we could work a cow and mitigate the chances of getting ourselves or an animal injured. I chose an Arrowquip after seeing one at another cattle operation, and like the simple half crowding tub design. The large gates allows easy access for livestock to enter or exit and the double half gate along side the animal makes it easy to assist a calf or of my son’s case work with a 4H calf. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy, safe way, to work cattle at calving time. Kelsey Reid, 7R Reid Farms @7rfarms
