Response to Plans for stanchion???

Stephanie, I'm begining to sound like a broken record. Build it Better Yourself by the Editors of Organic Gardening and Farming, editor William H. Hylton ISBN 0-87857-133-7.

But basically, think picket fence. Widely spaced picket fence. Spaced the width of a cow's neck and a little more for comfort. Of the two main vertical boards that will be the actual "holder", one is fixed and extends up above the top cross bar. The other rotates on a dowel at the bottom, and also extends above the top cross bar. Drill a hole in this one, and run through a thong of leather. Tie it into a loop. When the cow's head is between the two boards, close the swiveling one, and loop the thong over the fixed board. Gerbil
