Dairy buildings in the USA and CANADA

Large-scale dairy buildings, with the SAFETY IV headlock used at the trough as a containment tool, allowing animals to be held in place for treatment (healthcare), insemination, ultrasound procedures, etc. Euro-type metal cubicles mounted on OCTAGONAL posts with BLS or BLD brackets for a clean lying area, often combined with a bed in a hollow cubicle. Due to weather conditions, the buildings are insulated and building ventilation is very important, with an air extractor and side opening for air intake in summer. Milking is often carried out on a rotary system known as a Roto.
