Abstract: A restraining device for confining quadrupeds, particularly suited for use in restraining unruly animals, such as illtempered cows and the like, for various handling purposes, including facilitating milking operations. The device is characterized by a plurality of pairs of generally parallel restraining rails pivotally coupled to a manger of a type including a plurality of yokes for simultaneously receiving the heads of a plurality of animals to be restrained, and an actuator coupled therewith for imparting thereto a lifting force, whereby a simultaneous, pivotal repositioning of the rails between angularly spaced positions readily is accommodated for receiving and restraining the animals. The rails are mounted on the device to permit their substantially vertical oscillation about a horizontal axis, as well as their substantially horizontal oscillation about a vertical axis, whereby the rails pivot in orthogonally related planes.
