Milking Time for the Cows (1)
An impressive layout here, 20 per side, auto cluster-removal, auto-scraping etc. This is the 13.30 milking for this herd. The only farm where I have ever seen a “back-scratcher” for the cows. This place does B&B so let me know if you want somewhere in Carmarthenshire.

Yes, see your point! If you can avoid them, they still splash!!

I do like the width of that pit. I work in a 20:20 (soon to be a 30:30 🙂 ) with quite a narrow pit, harder to avoid projectile s***

Thank you, Sir. If I put an “S” in front of your ID it makes Scotlandfarmer. Any chance I’m correct?

Daily routine, this is what farming is all about some people never see.

Thanks very much. You’ll enjoy part 2 coming up soon. Hi, too, to your daughter – the cows would like to say “Hi” but they are busy eating grass.

Ah, got you. No, not I. It’s only putting clusters on, anyway – not really milking! I did once do some milking when the farm on which I was working had a power cut! As for me, I’m fine – you?

Thank you for sharing this. I just shared with my 2 year old and we loved it. Would love to see more of the milking operations. My daughter says hi too.

@balmesh you don’t see potato harvesters working round here either due to the rain we’ve only dug about 40 tonne between two harvesters today.

I have not had the opportunity to clear this with the owner so can’t answer yet. If he wants his B&B advertised then you’ll see it blazened abroad. I can only say it’s in Carmarthenshire, at this stage.

Thanks for the comment. Not sure what you mean about shot? How many cows I don’t know, the cowman was busy and the boss was absent. A 40-stall parlour must mean 200 at least?
