Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Puerto Rico
Spanish term or phrase: cepo
I need the English term, specifically in the context of a dairy farm (Puerto Rico). I think it may be the device where the cows are held in place for milking, maybe stock, block, yoke... I'm just not sure.

The farmer suffered losses due to a huricane and was given funding to renew his dairy business...

$16,251.00 para un generador electrico, ***cepo***, rancho de sombra, arado terreno y siembra de pastos.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is familiar with this term as used in this context!

Explanation:
I agree with Roberto's option of "headlocks" but here's another option:
See section "Memories are like pictures...." in English and then look for "cepos" in the same place on the Spanish page:

Algunos encargados de granjas lecheras han comprobado que los cepos para sujetar a las vacas del cuello aumentan los niveles de estrés. Esto puede deberse a los métodos empleados la primera vez que los aplica a las vacas. Antes de aplicarlo, siempre hay que hacer que los animales los asocien con la comida.

Another alternative:
http://beef-mag.com/mag/beef_heads_uplocking_headgates/ - this article alternates between headgates and stanchions.
Another ref:" manual or automatic self catching headgates with adjustable width " www.stockyardsupply.com/page23/livestockhandling.html
And: "locking head gates the length of the barn" from www.dairyrealty.com/view.php?propertyID=1043

Take your pick!
