I've no idea what dimensions things will be, that'll be for parlour engineers to say, but make sure there's plenty space where the cows come out the parlour, enough space for a whole side to come out, stand if they want then wander away.The most sensible post on here. The lad is in his early thirties father 65
When foot and mouth came in 2001 his dad told him he better find a job away. He joined the army for 9 years. Came home and is making a go of running his little family farm. Currently milking in an ancient abreast parlour for 3 hours each end of day. Decided to invest a bit in a new parlour and slurry storage and just to pee off the ones who know best he is ONLY putting in a 8/16 but making it big enough to go to a 10/20
It’s what he can afford. Putting it where some cubicles are and putting cubicles in silage clamp and has a new outside clamp already
Not everyone is factory farming cows inside all year round !
We don't have enough, ours come out, then have to do quite a sharp turn back to cubicles, you end up spending a bit of time chasing them out.
