- 20 - FLEXIBLE STALL DIVIDER FOR FREE STALL BARN ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A free stall barn of the type including an alley, a resting area for cattle on one side of the alley and a confining wall at a front of the resting area spaced from a step separating the resting area from the alley by a length approximately equal to the length of the animal includes a plurality of stall dividers divid- ing the rest area into separate stalls each for receiving one animal. Each stall divider comprises a vertical post mounted adjacent the step. Attached to the post is a bracket carrying a stub shaft which extends in a horizon- tal direction toward the wall. A coil spring on the end of the stub shaft mounts a single elongate rod member which projects from the post toward the wall and acts to divide each stall from the next. The spring allows the forward end of the rod member to flex to allow the animal to extricate its head or its body should it become trapped while attempting to stand from a lying position. The single rod is sufficient to cause the animal to re- main confined within the stall. The device prevents ani- mals from being injured or killed should they become en- trapped in the stall dividing mechanism.
