The question is would you rather have a shorter easier working day and go home earlier or would you have more days/mornings off?
Ramble below.
We put 320 to 350 cows through a very nice and well equipped parlour but it's in an old building so exit is slow and handling is non existent. It's...
Interested in what works well (or doesn't!), and approx cost?
Our cows have EID ear tags for out of parlour feeders, so makes sense to have a gate that works with them.
Ideally three way for grazing season:
A) high yielders out to feed yard
B) low yielders out to grass

Im guessing we have some forum members using autowashers here on their milking machines.
I was wondering as to how do they function, does it suck up all the water and send it through the machine and then wait until 90% of it has returned to the wash trough before starting again and repeating...
