[QUOTE="organicguy, post: 3353512, member: 20864"] The best dairy farmer I know has his cubicles by the road and the parlour 15o m away closer to the middle of the grazing. I would not worry too much about walking cows to the parlour but you need to think carefully about tanker access etc. The other theory would be that you should drive the cows away from the cubicles and let them walk straight back so they are not passing the cows waiting in the collecting yard. Think hard about how many cows you would like to be milking in ten years, then double the numbers and think about how you would like your sheds then. [/QUOTE]
