Continued nice weather here in western PA for working on my brothers new dairy facility. Said it is to be done before Christmas and under budget. I have never been in a milking parlor so am curious to see how it will all work, said this one is called a swing-8.

Greg Sauder has robot milkers for his registered Guernsey cows. That would be the only way I would ever milk. I hated that job worse than any. It reads their tag and dumps feed while they are being milked. He is a Tremont, IL and sold Presision Planting Products until he sold it to Monsatan. Very sharp person. I told him he should have doubled the price to them.

I milked for a neighbor who has a swing 16. I thought it was a great set up. It was fast, 1 guy cold milk 90 cows an hour. I like the idea of a swing parlor for simplicity and cost. He'll like his new set up.

it is coming along nicely. I have an outside drive-by feed alley too, and it is much simpler than feeding in a center alley- no gates to open and close. my feed alley is walled off from the freestalls, so the cows have to go around the ends to get to lay down.
