Asking for info is one thing, making dumb comments about something you don't know about is another. Each system has its bennefits. Tie stalls require less square feet per cow, the ability to tweek rations per cow by feeding low producing cows less grain while feeding high producing cows more, feeding cows individualy and not in a group at a bunk allows the farmer to make sure every cow stays on feed and if not they are cought much faster before the typical free stall cow would show clinical signs which makes them easier to treat. In the winter its more comfortable for the farmer and he can work in his shirt sleeves. Most tiestalls have a gutter cleaner so with the flip of a switch the barn is automaticly cleaned, but those who have delt with problamatic gutter cleaners cringe at the thought of them. A properly bedded tiestall will be comfortable for the cow. Boss cows can't beat on others. This is just a few reasons tiestalls arn't stupid. I'm not saying one is better than another but each has a place. There are more cows in stantions and tie stalls than you think. Tell your father in law sand is cheep to bed with. I pay $75 plus delivery for a triaxle load of bedding sand and it lasts a long time. Cows love it and it stays in place better than straw or shavings.
