[QUOTE="novaman, post: 547180, member: 2744"] I have just recently quit feeding grain in the parlor and switched to feeding it in a TMR. I was just wondering if anyone has done the same and if so are there any tricks that you used to get the cows to come into the parlor? I am having one heck of a lot of trouble as the girls have no motivation to come in anymore. I also have stalls that the cows enter individually so once I get them into the parlor I then have to fight to get each cow into her stall. My nutritionist recommended putting small lick tubs in where the grain used to go so I did but that hasn't worked as well as I hoped. Some cows lick on them but most seem stuck on the fact that there is no grain they show no interest in the molasses. This is frustrating for me as it takes forever to get through milking and its more stressful on the cows. Any tips or tricks would be welcomed. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
