The area were they will be storing the silage and food for the cows takes more space then my house and land. I believe the area is 1.5 acres.
The next two are of the milking machine. One cows gets on and another off every 10 seconds. This is one big carrousel that holds 48 cows and by the time they get around they are done and have been checked for any problems. They will milk 10 hours and then have 2 for cleanup and then another 10 and 2 off. So they milk 24/7. They have only five men at once doing the milking. The next photo is the holding pen just before milking and a ramp were they return to the barns. Each cow gets milked twice a day. They say that after a short while the cows hurry up to get to the carrousel. Just like kids always wanting a ride...
AS far as how much milk they will produce I don't know at this point, I do know that they back up a smi milk truck and hook it to the milking machine direct. as you can see it still was under construction when we were there. Next time we go there we will get the rest of the story. |
