We can tie 62 under the pipe line right now, but are in the prosses of adding ten more stalls, with an E-Z trac to carry the milkers with auto take offs. Hope to have this little project completed in the new year. Around my neighbourghood my herd is about average size, there are maybe 5 herds over 100, and another 3 over 200 cows in my county, out of 60 herds.Most are tie, but larger herds are all free stall, with lots of employees, so much for econemy of scale. I have three friends near by that have Jersey cows also. My son and I with some help from the wife do everthing execpt spray chemicals and combind corn. Here are a few pic's of cows ,dairy barn, heifer barn, and some shots of the Case tractors we do the work with . Bruce [Reply]  [No Email]
