Cows Lying on Pasture

We may not be able to bring the pasture in the barn, but we certainly can work hard to design the barn that allows for natural movement – for the cows’ ultimate well-being.

A good stall design doesn’t incite fear limiting lying time but allows the cow to settle in with ease and without injury.  It provides her the environment to naturally lunge forward to rise to her feet and move in or out with freedom.

A GREYstall flexible free stall through materials and assembly provides flexibility for her comfort.  But the real art is providing the adequate rigidity to ensure that while she moves about freely, she does not compromise her positioning.

Injuries shorten average lifespan.

Traditional steel stalls are unforgiving, causing injuries and fear, reducing lying time.  This ultimately impacts cow longevity.

GREYstall Hybrid stalls are just right.

Flexible without compromise! It features a flexible neck rail, but definitely not floating.  The dividers, though flexible, remain quite rigid and certainly are not composed of rubber.

D'autres stalles offrent trop de flexibilité, ce qui peut compromettre la position des vaches

Some stall designs are just backwards.

Too much flexibility compromises a cow’s position.  This causes teat damage, dirty udders and high somatic cell count.

Flexible hybrid dairy stalls keep cows comfortable and productive

Comfortable cows are productive cows.

lie down in comfortable stalls.

Studies show that renovating stalls to improve dairy cow comfort improves milk yield, reduces cull rate, lowers somatic cell count, and improves the lameness status of the herd.

University of Wisconsin research shows comfortable dairy cows have:

  • Great milk yield: 3 – 14 pounds per cow per day
  • Lower turnover rates: 6% to 13% decrease
  • Lower somatic cell count: 37,000 to 102,000 decrease
  • Less lameness: 15% to 20% reduction

Rest is important

Cows need to lie down. It allows her hooves to dry off and gives her time to rest and ruminate. While resting comfortably, blood circulation to the udder increases and leads to increased milk production.

Five minutes is the maximum time a dairy cow should take to get settled into the stall

The maximum time upon initially stepping up on the cow bed, until she should be settled into the stall.
