ABSTRACT:
Cattle stanchion apparatus in which a plurality of fixed and release stanchions are located adjacent one another to define a row of head openings for the animals. The release stanchions are simultaneously pivotable between open and closed positions by a reciprocable release rod. Decouplers are operative upon movement of the release stanchions to their open positions to permit the release rod to be moved back to its previous position independently of the now open release stanchions. Each release stanchion is pivotable to its closed position by the animal as it dips its head to feed. In their closed positions the release stanchions reengage the release rod and, depending upon the position of the release rod, thereby automatically lock the cattle in place. When desired, the apparatus can be arranged so that the cattle cannot lock themselves in the apparatus until the release rod is moved by the operator.
