[QUOTE="Fools Gold, post: 7501049, member: 157024"] Interesting topic, my only advice would be to have a large enough collecting yard and plenty space at front of parlour to allow for easy cow flow. Plenty people like to claim impressive cow throughput but whether the figures they quote are consistently achieved or a one off from a “good day in May” is debatable. Have seen plenty set ups where the cows are hammered through the parlour and washing up at the end seems to be a chore too far! Acr’s, auto ID, milk meters, Adf, auto wash and segregation seem to be frowned upon by some as expensive to maintain and unnecessary but from my experience are well worth it by making the job easier. A keen eye and proper observation can pick up many problems with cows while milking, something that can’t be achieved if your just throwing units on as fast as possible. [/QUOTE]
