The Louden Cross Braced Double Post Cow Stall — Fig. 812 



Patented, May 20, 1913 



If we were to cease the manufacture of all other cow stalls and confine ourselves to a single pattern, it 

 would be our Cross Braced Double Post Stall, Fig. 812. It is not only the best, but is also the most 

 popular stall manufactured. The following are some of its most prominent features: 



Perfectly Proportioned. The stall posts are so spaced that there is a good separation between the 

 feed in the manger and the bedding on the stall floor, while, with our flexibly hung stanchions, there is 

 ample room between the posts for the comfort of the cow. The posts are set the proper distance apart to 

 let the stanchion open wide enough to receive the cow's head, and yet not so wide that the cow can walk 

 right through it. This is one of the faults of single post stalls. It is entirely overcome in our 812 stall. 



No Attachments Needed. With single post stalls the cow is liable to place her head in the space 

 between the post and stanchion and to prevent this, attachments of different kinds are used to at least, 

 partially remedy the defect. Nothing of the kind is needed with our 812 Stalls. While the posts are set 

 wide enough apart to give the cow ample freedom to lie down at one side or the other, and to turn her 

 head or lick her side without cramping, the space is not so wide that the cow is liable to get her head in 

 the wrong place. There is just one place where the cow can put her head and that is in the open 

 stanchion, and it will never be so wide open that she will be tempted to force her body through it. 



Simplicity of Construction. There are no complicated parts about this stall to get out of order and 

 cause trouble. In addition to the stanchion, it consists of the continuous top-rail, the vertical stall 

 posts, the cross brace, and the bent stall partition with the necessary couplings to hold the parts 

 together. The cross braces are made of different lengths to suit different widths of stalls, whereby the 

 proper proportions are always preserved.
