It’s time to dairy farm!!!

[@jodymaley3674]

Bigger mix of other plants, grass is best, then add energy and such. Like playing the races, bet on the favorite and other likely ones

[@johnmann2904]

I used to milk in a parlour the same, a bit slow but stress free, unlike a herringbone. It was a long process training the heifers to step up though.

[@DairyManShann]

Yeah they are good parlours. Shame we haven’t got space to make it bigger.

Great video Matthew

[@DairyManShann]

Thanks.

I did my first milking on my own when I was 12 in a abreast parlour now in my 50s and milking in a 32/32 fast exit.

[@DairyManShann]

They are good parlours.

Great video, nice herd of cows. Don't think there are too many abreast parlours about these days,

[@DairyManShann]

Thanks. Nice there is many about. But there is 5 within about 3 miles of us.

Great video thanks 👍

[@DairyManShann]

Thank you.

Do u like this type of parlor nice bunch of cows

[@DairyManShann]

Yeah it’s a good type of parlour. But we are moving to a herringbone in the next few years. More for speed than anything.

[@kevinbardsley2644]

Beaut looking cows Nice size lovely udders Like to know some of the sires

[@DairyManShann]

Cheers thanks. With used a lot of genus Seman in the past but I was thinking of doing a video on the breeding at some point.

Hi Shann, just wondering how long it takes you to milk and what times you milk? When do you think you might start putting your second hand parlour in? and what size is it, great video by the way 👍

[@DairyManShann]

Hello. Takes us about 3 hours each end of the day to milk and wash down at the minute. Well the shed for the fresh parlour isn’t here yet but we are aiming to be in it for summer 2026.
