[QUOTE="Turboman, post: 3348666, member: 2539"] neck rail should be at least 50 inches high, the latest trend is to use a zigzag rail to give the cows more room standing up and also it helps to centre the cow as she lies down. Distance from neck rail to kerb edge depends on the size of your cow. Ultimately you want the cow to be able to stand in the cubicle with all four feet on the cubicle. If you see cows standing half in half out then the somethings wrong. It could be the neck rail that needs altered or maybe the overall cubicle is too short( move brisket pipe forward) or the cow is put off from lying down with a wall too close to her head. As a rough guide every extra hour a cow spends lying down chewing her cud and not standing is worth an extra litre of milk, so it pays to get it right! [/QUOTE]
