Tie stall definition
Tie stall means that each cow is tied inside a stall and is not constantly roaming around. Instead of having to walk around to seek feed, water, milking, and resting areas, everything that the cow needs is brought to her. Cows are often let outside for exercise. This is the traditional type of housing that was used on dairy farms in the past and is still very popular for herds that milk less than 60 cows.
