[QUOTE="K-SHIRES, post: 200959, member: 3624"] J&L- Two thoughts on parlors - We are moving into a herringbone because: We have various size cows ranging from 1500 lb. Holstiens to 1000 lb. New Zealand Ayrshires. A smaller cow can scoot forward in parallel, and your arms just are'nt long enough even when chest is pressed against pipes. Also, old cows won't adapt, as Texas dairyman pointed out. Also, cows turning a sharp right angle can blow out their hocks. this even applies to run lanes to holding area. All of ours wiil be curves or wide sweeping corners. Just our thoughts on the matter. K-SHIRES. [/QUOTE]
