Rump rail with feeding - curved or straight?

[newholland]

50deg Parlour with feed trough with small hoop divisions and adjustable front rail.

Should the rump rail be curved or straight?

50 deg or 70 deg?

Am thinking 50deg, straight rump rail to go with the feed manager. - am I right?

Any thoughts would be very helpful.

General rule is one or the other,you can't have a straight breast rail and straight rump rail as the cows will bunch up,fullwood breast rail and straight rump rail looks a good set up,mine is a cranked rump rail and straight adjustable breast rail.

Also we've had a straight rump rail and troughs for near 45 years.
