How many cows an hour can you do easily?
2 guys, about 150 per hour. With 3 people, around 175 an hour. If 4 people, around 200 per hour.
40 stalls. At 4 turns per hour (15 minutes per turn), that is 160. 5 turns (12 minutes) is 200.
Theoretically, it can do 6 turns per hour at full speed, but we have 3 slow milking cows that cannot get done that fast, so we have to wait on them as they randomly come in. Plus there are a couple other cows that don't move fast enough to get into position, so we have to stop to give them a couple extra seconds.
WAY faster than the double six herribone we were using last year. 60 cows per hour with it. |
Finally got a professional video of our internal rotary parlor
