Engineered for Cow Comfort, Durability, and Operational Efficiency
Optimize cow welfare and boost your dairy operation’s productivity with Sturdy Built Free Stalls—precision-engineered for long-lasting performance in today’s demanding dairy environments. Designed with cow behavior, cleanliness, and labor efficiency in mind, these free stalls help create a safe, comfortable, and productive housing system for your herd.
Backed by over four decades of experience in agricultural equipment and facility design, Sturdy Built delivers stall systems that balance cow comfort with ease of installation and long-term durability—making them a trusted choice for dairy producers nationwide.
Cow Comfort Comes First
Sturdy Built free stalls are designed to promote natural lying and rising movements, which directly support herd health and milk production. Key comfort-driven features include:
- Proper loop geometry to encourage forward lunge movement and minimize contact injuries
- Smooth, rounded steel tubing for reduced abrasions and pressure points
- Optional brisket board and neck rail placements to guide cow positioning and maintain stall cleanliness
These features help reduce lameness, improve bedding retention, and support better lying times—essential components of a productive dairy herd.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Longevity
Made from high-tensile galvanized steel, Sturdy Built free stalls are corrosion-resistant and capable of withstanding years of exposure to high-moisture environments like freestall barns. Designed to perform in all climates, these stalls resist bending, rusting, and loosening over time—minimizing long-term maintenance.
Available in both single and double-row configurations, Sturdy Built free stalls can be tailored to your barn layout and herd size with unmatched flexibility.

- Modular bolt-together design simplifies setup and expansion
- Available in multiple loop styles: standard, comfort, and wide-body
- Custom lengths, spacings, and mounting heights to suit your herd and building dimensions
