Good to see someone taking so much care over the cows, such a clean parlour too, although I'm not sure I would go for a parallel, I think a herringbone is quicker based on what I see here. It's great to see how other people do it though, thanks for the video

Awesome video we dairy farm in Newzealand, that is a really well setup cowshed. We milk in a 20 a side herringbone the advantages of your milking parlour is the cows can milk at there own speed. Were in our cowshed if you have a slow one you have to wait. Keep on farming

Good video, but the vacuum does not suck the milk out, it holds the unit on the teats and carries the milk away, the pulsation mimics a calf feeding action, this is what gets the milk out. keep up the good work. Cotlandfarmer

Cotlandfarmer this isnt completly true, yes the lining in the clusters squeezes and helps but the pulsating vacuum sucks the milk out, think about it, when a calf wants milk, it sucks on the cow teats it doesent squeeze it

I'm so happy I've came across this video, I have seen many of your other videos but it was nice to see how the milking process works. It's really interesting and the technology seems great. How many litres of milk do you produce per day?

@FarmingLife 6 жыл бұрын

probably about 5-6 thousand per day depending on how many and what time of year

The Scottish Mad man I milk at home with a 16 a side parlour and our cows face there back to us

@TheFarmingLife 7 жыл бұрын

the cow that had the mastitis did you tag her then or don't you have to do that over there. so nobody else milks her in the tank in the next milking . our regulations tough over there on you guys.
