Built by Farmers
Engineered for Real Work.
Cowcatcher equipment is built in Ontario for operations that demand reliable, calm, and durable cattle handling — day after day.
Our Story
Our Roots
Born out of the need for better cattle handling on the farm, Cowcatcher was founded to bring calm, reliable cattle processing to operations of every size. Built in Dufferin County, Ontario, our equipment reflects decades of real farming experience.
We started with a simple question: why do so many cattle handling setups cause more stress than they solve? The answer was in the design — equipment that doesn't fit the animal, doesn't fit the handler, and doesn't fit the job.
Every system we build starts with how cattle move naturally. From there, we design for the handler — making sure the tools are safe, efficient, and built to last through years of hard use.
Why Cowcatcher
Designed for Modern Operations
Today's cattle operations are handling larger herds, heavier animals, and tighter schedules. The equipment needs to keep up — without adding chaos to the process.
Handle Cattle More Safely
Designed to reduce the risk of injury for both handlers and animals during processing.
Reduce Animal Stress
Equipment shaped around how cattle naturally move — keeping them calm from entry to exit.
Improve Workflow Efficiency
Fewer slowdowns, faster throughput, and less double-handling on every processing day.
Build Systems That Grow
Modular designs that expand with your operation — no need to start over as your herd scales.
Craftsmanship
Built to Last
Every Cowcatcher system is designed for durability in real farm conditions — not just the first season, but decade after decade of hard work.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Strength where it counts — built to handle the weight and force of large cattle without flex or failure.
Powder-Coated Finishes
Corrosion and wear resistant coating that holds up in the elements and keeps maintenance low.
Durable Flooring Materials
Built for harsh agricultural environments where grip, drainage, and longevity matter every day.
Modular Systems
Components designed to connect and adapt — giving you the flexibility to configure for your layout.
Squeeze-Tec Technology
Innovation That Respects the Animal
Cattle behave differently under stress. When an animal feels squeezed without warning or is restrained too quickly, it panics — making the entire handling process harder, slower, and more dangerous for everyone involved.
Cowcatcher's Squeeze-Tec Technology applies controlled, gradual pressure that mimics the natural comfort of animals moving through close spaces. The result is calmer cattle and a safer environment for handlers.
Our squeeze systems are designed to work with the animal's instincts, not against them — reducing bruising, minimizing injury risk, and making each pass through the chute faster and more predictable.
Trusted Partners
Working with Industry Partners
Cowcatcher works alongside partners across Canada to bring together agricultural expertise and modern technology. By collaborating with companies like iLivestock and Weber's Farm Service, we help farmers integrate equipment and digital tools that make cattle management faster, smarter, and more efficient.
