They closed a crossover to add stalls

A remodel added a row of stalls by walling off a crossover. The stall-to-cow sheet improved. Night video showed a pile at the remaining crossing and empty beds on the far side.

Dairyland would call that a flow failure wearing a stocking costume. Lying time fell on the cows who would not walk the gauntlet. Lameness and residual feed rose together.

They cut a gate back into the crossover. Stall count dropped by six. Night lying rose. The expansion math had been counting steel, not steps.
