1. Hanger for a brisket tube for a cow stall assembly, of the type in which a plurality of spaced dividers each have at least a generally horizontal lower rail member spaced above a floor of the cow stall assembly, and wherein the brisket tube takes the form of a generally cylindrical pipe that extends along the cow stall assembly beneath the lower rail members of said dividers; said hanger comprising a bracket member formed of a vertical plate member with vertical edges spaced apart a predetermined width; and having a vertical slot formed therein; and having a horizontal mounting flange at an upper edge of the plate member; a clamp member securing the horizontal mounting flange of said bracket member to an associated one of the horizontal lower rail members; and a brisket pipe clamp including a slide plate member having a pair of vertical edges spaced from one another at said predetermined width of said vertical plate member and having a pair of flanges formed at said vertical edges, the flanges projecting distally from said vertical edges of the slide plate member to capture the vertical plate member therebetween, so that the slide plate member is restrained from twisting on said vertical plate member; a partly arcuate retaining arm fused to said slide plate member and extending from a proximal side of the slide plate member and having a curved portion dimensioned to capture said brisket tube therein; a stub attached to said slide plate member and extending distally from said slide plate member through the vertical slot in said bracket member; and means for securing the slide plate member to said bracket member.
