The savings in labor and bedding, less costly barn construction, and a more natural, less restrained environment for cows have all appealed to dairy farmers. Of course, as with any system, there are unique problems associated with free stalls. Refusal of cows to use stalls, the high maintenance requirements of stall bases and partitions, injuries to cows from walkways, and breeding problems were major concerns for those adopting free stall housing. In the past decade, many systems have been redesigned and rebuilt to meet the requirements of farmers, health practitioners, management advisors, and, of course, the cows. Dairy Free Stall Housing covers a wide variety of topics related to solving design problems.
