A brisket barrier for an animal stall comprises a ridge-shaped body (12) having recessed sections (22) formed therein and extending into the ridge. The recessed sections (22) include a transversely extending slot (26) adapted to receive a fixing device such as a screw. The recessed sections include a base portion in which the slot is formed, the base portion (20) being arranged to engage with, in use, a ground surface on which said barrier is mounted. The barrier is adjustable, when fitted, in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis.
