[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 29330"] When I first saw this post yesterday my first thought was "tie stall dairy". My second thought was this will stir things up on this board. It is still a relatively common way to handle dairy cattle in some regions. It is one of the systems where AI was perfected. Cows were easy to access and generally gentle. If the barn has a low ceiling, which is common in tie stall barns, it is difficult to use a bull for breeding. The dairy industry has been moving away from tie stalls but as in everything else there are always those who stay with the old ways. If the original poster is concern she should work with the old gal to see what changes could be made to improve conditions. Calling the humane society should be the last thing any of us want. I can just see what PETA would do with pictures of this. Dave [/QUOTE]
