table herringbone stall
money can buy. The new

The “Mega 45” is it.
One look at the “Mega 45”
and you’ll know it’s built to
last. Here’s why:
• It’s made of 23/S” O.D galvan

like to many others.
• Modular components are pre
welded rather than bolted or
clamped to be virtually main
tenance free.
• One piece feeder sections are
made of seamless, boltlesi stain
less steel. Stainless steel teed
bowls assure fast feeding clean
up.
• Multiple strength structural pipe
arches are welded Into a rigid
truss that will hold any cow and
support all equipment.
