The free stalls “hanging” from barn rafters provide many advantages to help keep cows safe and healthy. By using suspended free stalls, cows are less likely to obtain bruises. Thus all their energy can be concentrated towards increased milk production. The design of the stall allows it to swing up, down or back out of the way of the cow. Because they swing freely, the stalls can withstand the force of animal contact. And because they are powder coated, they require little mainte nance. lebanon^^lley^^terprises^Tnc.
