[QUOTE="born2run, post: 227793, member: 2498"] Sarah... The all-exit bar is nice...takes maybe 30 sec. max for the cows to leave the stanchions. Currently at about 405, will be up to 430 by July. Most I've milked was about 2 years ago, 445. The freestall barn was packed to capacity at that point. Takes a little over 5 hours to milk currently. Working 3rd shift with a partner, we start at 9 PM and get done about 2:15 AM. How many people per shift on your end? I don't know the first thing about parallels. Do they have an indexing system? One thing I've heard about them is that the milkers get filthy. Correct or hearsay? Herringbones...we stay pretty clean, and the position of the cows allow us to get close without getting kicked. I won't ever complain about the facility I work in...coming from years in a flatbarn this is luxury. :D [/QUOTE]
