[QUOTE="Mchalehs, post: 3350618, member: 2120"] Good evening, I'm starting to get everything together now to make a start at converting our farm to an 80 cow autumn block system. Bought a second hand parlour/tank etc. I'm using two existing buildings as the cubicles, one is an old cubicle shed just need fitting new cubicles as the old ones were removed some 15 years ago. The parlour itself will be on its own, right in the middle of the farm, some 150 meters slight uphill walk from the cubicles and feeding yard. It will be quite open to the elements, no shelter for it at the minute. The pickle i have is which way to lay it out, do i set the collecting yard so they have a slight incline into the parlour? which way should i face it regarding wind etc? Theres a few more questions i'll remember again! Where the parlour is being located is a brown field site. Thanks for any recommendations and advice [/QUOTE]
