[young&keen]

Hi does anyone have there parlour at a right angle to there collecting yard? Enter at far end of 30ft wide yard length of shed then turn left into parlour then left out of parlour (not tight left at least 20ft in front of parlour) back into shed? Will this happer flow? Thoughts please

Seen plenty of parlours with angled entrances. Straight is ideal but even with a straight entrance you still here of people fetching cows.

when i put my parlour in 10 years ago, dairymaster were the ones who suggested building my parlour this way, the other manufactures said it would hamper cow flow, i didnt fancy it myself as i like to be able to see the cows in collecting yard whilst milking so installed it straight instead of right angled

Ours perform a U-turn to enter the parlour, not ideal but that's how it's evolved over the years.
