An elevated-beam cow stall assembly employs angle brackets each installed on a
respective vertical post. Support stanchions formed of a vertical rail, with upper
and receiver members affixed at upper and lower ends of the rail, are attached
to the back plates of the angle brackets, and the back plates also support the
horizontal support beam. Tubular stall dividers each have an upper and a lower
horizontal rail, the ends of which are mounted into the receivers of the stanchions.
Additional stanchions may be affixed, i.e., with U-bolts, at intermediate locations
along the horizontal beam, and these stanchions also support associated stall dividers.
Neck rails may be attached to the upper rails of the dividers, and brisket rails
or brisket pipes may be supported on the lower rails of the dividers. This construction
permits an unobstructed space below the horizontal beam to give the cow some freedom
of movement for lying down and rising.
