Claim 0:
1. A cubicle for a bovine animal, comprising:
a. a pair of opposed side barriers defining the sides of a generally rectangular area to accommodate a bovine animal;
b. an opening between the opposed side barriers at a first end of said generally rectangular area, the opening being the same width as the generally rectangular area and being sized to admit a bovine animal into said rectangular area; and
characterized by
c. the side barriers mounted to a ground post at a second end, opposite the first end, such that the side barriers are mounted to the ground post only at the second end; and
d. at least one fixed projection mounted on one of the side barrier barriers at a height above ground level adjacent the opening, said projection extending from the one of the side barriers towards the other one of the side barriers, and thereby defining a fixed region of reduced width at said height to encourage a bovine animal positioned at or moving past said projection to align itself generally parallel to the side barriers, without reducing the rectangular area at ground level.
