Abstract
An apparatus is designed for holding the tail of an animal to one side while the animal is on a milking platform. The apparatus consists of a structure mounted to the rail along or around the milking platform which holds the tail such that the pathway to the udder between the animal's rear legs is unobstructed by the tail.
