The sternum bar stops livestock from kneeling when they are in the head gate which is very helpful for a broad range of procedures such as semen testing, AI and Preg checking.
Optional Sternum Bar - Brisket Bar
The sternum bar can be removed in seconds by simply removing the two hinge pins that secure the bar to the floor brackets.
When you first receive your sternum bar you will need to bolt the floor brackets to the squeeze chute floor. All Hi-Hog chutes built after 2016 include pre-drilled mounting holes
For the safety of your livestock Hi-Hog’s sternum bar:
Is gently sloped on the entry end of the bar
Does not extend through the head gate on the exit end of the bar
NOTE: If you are adding this to a chute built prior to 2016 you will need to drill four 9/16" dia. holes through the floor of your existing Hi-Hog chute to secure the floor mounted brackets (new chutes come with these holes pre-drilled)
Before you mount your sternum bar, decide if you want it closer to the headgate, or further away from the headgate.
