Milking System Developed

Dennis Aimstiong and the late
Woody Snydei and agneultuial
engmeeis John Gainsh and Wil

is so effective in saving time and
eliminating lost motion fiom
milking chores the daiiymen
can inciease the size of their
heids without spending more
time in the milking pailor 01
adding extra labor
The new milking pai loi design
involves a system of moie stalls,
larger milking pailois and a
“batch” system of handling cows
A vauation of such a design
would be a four-sided pailoi with
six stalls on each side
Using automatic gates and ma
chines, the opeiator would move
in a counterclockwise dnection
aiound the bain
As the electiomc gate to the
milking pailoi opens to admit a
specific numbei ol cows (six
with the foui sided pailoi) only
the feed bowl faithest fiom the
gate is uncoveied
The fiist cow automatically
heads foi that bowl, theie’s no
stopping to sample grain 01 pio

she passes As the fiist cow neais
