The freestall is a small spot in your barn, but it is the one that your cow values highest!

For a cow to rest comfortably and for long enough, the freestall must be carefully thought out.
The purpose of this course is to provide you with a solid information for the basis of your decisions about freestall structures, sizing and management.
