Abstract

All in all, the orientation of the stalls is the least performance issue of these four tough decisions. As I see these problems, mattresses versus sand is a comfort issue. A four row barn versus a six row barn is a performance issue. Insulation versus no insulation is a ventilation issue, and head to head versus tail to tail is a management issue.
