Heavy Duty Construction
Our highly engineered heavy-duty framework consisting of 360° miter cut reinforcing corner members and 4x4 weld architecture make this the most popular pen on the market today. Gates/panels are made of 50,000 psi, 16 gauge, high-tensile steel tubing.
Anchor Mat:
Heavy 2’ wide by 9’ long, 9 gauge expandable steel mat with perimeter reinforcements. While animals stand with their feet on the mat, the mat does not allow the headgate or the pen to be pushed out of position.
Outside Flip-Up Nursing Panel:
1/4 of the gate flips up and locks tight to provide an open area on the outside of the pen for nursing, birthing, or veterinarian tasks.
Squeeze Gate:
The gate tightens against the outside panel to hold the animal secure and swings completely out of the way. Squeeze Gate converts to a 10’x10’ pen for treating and holding sick or injured animals.
Ratchet Latch:
Easy to handle and assures solid control of the animal. Tightens the squeeze gate in increments. When locked, stays locked. Overhead rope gives quick, safe release.

Calving Pen / Maternity Pen Overview
One of the unique features of this maternity pen is the easy-to-use maternity flip panel. You simply pull the latch, put it up, and secure it in place. It allows very easy access for calving, nursing, or veterinary work. It’s a very unique feature that provides straightforward, easy access for necessary work on your livestock.
Each calving pen care center is also equipped with our famous head gate. The self-catching head gate locks the cattle in place when they come through and hit the yoke. It has a protective bar so they can’t throw their head up and open the gate. Safer for both you and your livestock, the head bar is a must. When you are ready to release your animal, simply lift the exit bar and the way they go.
Another reason the Sioux Steel calving pen care center is the most user-friendly on the market is the nine-foot steel anchor mat. It is securely bolted into the frame and when your cattle stand on it, they literally can’t rattle the cage. Its stability provides a calming and more stress-free environment for both you and your cows.
The calving care center is loaded with a lot of unique features which is what makes it the most popular cattle calving pen on the market. It is designed for safety with slam latches so you can close a gate quickly and secure it in place, you can do so fast and effortlessly on all four sides! They all open up wide, and with the slam latches, you have increased safety and accessibility. As if that’s not enough, we’ve included a maternity flip panel, so as you crowd the livestock, heifer, or cow into the pen, you can just move her in and secure her with the side gate. Once settled in, you then flip up the smaller panel for easy access while the cow is safely secured. Safety is the biggest feature, and with your animal in the head gate and the steel mat to prevent a moving pen, you can easily access what you need to through the maternity panel. Keeping your livestock calm with a minimal amount of stress helps avoid the risk or any chance of getting yourself or your cattle getting hurt. The veterinarians love it!
When you look at all the features the calving pen care center has to offer, it looks pretty complicated to assemble, but actually, it's one of the easiest to put together. There are simple and durable poly connectors on the top and the bottom, so one person can put together a complete calving pen care center in 15 to 20 minutes.
