Backing gate

[Beef farmer]

As above, want/need a backing gate, have one here that came with the parlour, but it isn't gonna happen. What's the best design, and who do I need to speak to. Doesn't need to be overly complicated.

[Beef farmer]

Yeah, not really that keen on a second hand one. I've got one here that came with the parlour. Just an over complicated pile of wire.

are feeding in parlour?

 

[Beef farmer]

Yeah.

just a suggestion go without to start with, there a very much a marmite contraption. we feed in parlour very rarely struggle to get cows in.

but saying that if starting afresh would probably go with a circular collecting yard with backing in middle

 

[Beef farmer]

We're milking. Buying cows from everywhere, and they are being right pansies. Bought 56 that were rotary milked. My bad And they are teaching the others the bad trick of hanging around at the back of the yard.

Round yard with a top gate with electric wires is the way to go. That way you can move small number of cows at a time.please don't confuse a backing gate with a bulldozer.
