Milking Time for the Cows (1)

Filed under: Videos |


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.

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

  2. 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?

    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?

  17. 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.

  20. @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?
