An elevated-beam cow stall assembly has a plurality of tubular cow stall
dividers supported on a single horizontal beam. This provides room for
the cow to lunge slightly to assist her in lying down or getting up. In
an embodiment, stanchions or brackets are formed of vertical channel
members affixed onto the beam. The tubular stall dividers each have an
upper and a lower horizontal rail, the ends of which are mounted into the
upper and lower ends of the channel member. Short upper and lower channel
portions are fastened to the main vertical channel members, web-to-web,
and the tubular stall dividers from a facing row of stalls are mounted on
these. The brackets or stanchions may be mounted to the beam using square
U-bolts, or by other techniques such as welding.
