Anyone tempted to think cows are "dumb" animals, that have to be driven and abused to exploit them, needs to watch this. They're willing participants that are quite comfortable with their lives. Cueing up 3 times a day, they quietly walk onto this machinery and stand to be milked, without even the incentive of food reward. There is no better picture of a contented cow, than these girls calmy chewing their cud and looking quite curious about what's going on around them.

That's because people confuse docile with dumb.

There willing participants because they are trained with food 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 And as most women know when the tits get full it #$/=÷_< Hurts. They are female that's why they are smart.

Absolutely 💯 love cows!

Several farms around here uses sand bedding and has a sand recycling system. They don't scrape too often because each alley is flushed with 1000s of gallons of water every 10 minutes. The sand is filtered & "washed" and it dries very clean and reused many times. All the manure goes through digesters which produces methane which is burned by generators to produce electricity for the dairy. They also have most buildings covered with solar panels. They actually sell excess electricity back to the grid because they produce so much per day. The water eventually (after about 12-15 "reuses" gets pushed to the field irrigation system. There is no runoff.

Cows really do seem to reflect their owners personality, Richard’s cows seemed so calm ,just like him. A wonderful set up, low stress. Bravo to you all.❤️❤️👍🐄🐄🐄

We just don’t appreciate the farmers enough for what they do, it’s not just a job it’s a life of dedication and worry for very little compared to any other kind of living, thanks for all you give us your all amazing beings.

Privileged to see this farm in operation, spent many years milking cows, abreast parlours and herringbone. Those cows are the cleanest I have ever seen. Great family great set up.

In 1966, i worked a 50 cow shed with buckets on a vacuum line. All of these parlours are a world away.

I’m no farmer but I found that so interesting. Thank you.

Brilliant video Tom. I'm no farmer and 60yrs old but I find farming fascinating. But why I love watching your videos is because you tell us knowing most of your viewers are not farmers. So you explain it so we do understand. Without farmers we don't have food or milk and most people don't think about that. I wish more people would support farmers cause you all get a rotten deal, in my opinion. Take care, give Ginge a thank you too 🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄

Even with that amount of cows that's one of the cleanest farms I've ever seen.

I am as you say gobsmacked! That many cows three times a day and that enormous amount of milk above their old way of milking. It boggles the mind. I love the mechanics of the rotary parlor. Please continue these visits to other parlors we always find something new or at least done differently to learn from.

What a fantastic operation, a fantastic family, and a fantastic vid. Can see why you were so excited about it Tom

Martin and his family are lovely people great to see the parlour as I only live down the road. Those boys know how to work hard. I think they only stop to go to sleep 💤.

That rotary station is AMAZING! The cows form such a polite Que 🤣😂🤣.

My wife's older sister married into what is now the largest dairy farm in Wisconsin U.S.A. I know their Carousel holds 100 cows and last I heard they are milking around 5,000. I wish I knew more so I could share. I have seen the cows leisurely walking in large groups waiting for their turn on the Carousel. Peaceful and stress free. Keep up the great work.

That was a bloody impressive operation, run by a very knowledgeable and able family 👍

I don't think the word 'WOW' was used enough....... Cheers for the vid Tom..... :-D

So very similar to my cousins set up, the alleyway they walk back down is via a foot bath for when its needed

It's good to see how other farm's work and to get ideas.

The per cow output is mind-blowing. Contented cows give good milk. 😊👍👍 Amazing video.

Cows are spotless, credit to the lads

That's a well set-up dairy, I work on a 1100 head Holstein farm we milk 2 times a day on pasture and silage in australia its good to see how other countries do things

Well Tom i think with the amount of wow`s you found that very impressive 😲, because i sure did and thats just watching it on a screen 👍👍

Richard , Tom may have slowed you down but thank you so much for Showing us how the rotary works.. I wondered why the cows kept picking up their feet ?

Great video as always Tom that farm looks amazing

Amazing! And so informative,thank you

How good is this! Thanks Tom! Fantastic!

Yes Tom! Milk in an abreast! You should visit Patrick Holden's farm in Wales where he makes cheddar cheese. They've got a ten unit abreast.

This was fabulous!!!!!

Great Farm and Family. Thanks for sharing your story of your trip to their farm Tom.

Great video Tom! Love the passion, enthusiasm and especially liked the time-lapse, they were awesome!

Tom that is amazing.

A few years ago I got the chance go round the Duke of Westminster estate ( over your side of the country) can’t just remember but sure they milked over 2000 cows. Each shift did one and a half milking. They filled an artic milk tanker trailer parked in the yard, driver swapped an empty one for a full each time😳 they do tours so sure they would welcome a KZread visit.

Thanks for sharing this amazing rotary parlour 🤩 fascinating to watch

That was Awesome Tom. Bet Georgia was pleased when you buggered off 🙂

What a wonderful video. I learned so much and it was so interesting to see a rotary milking parlor. Thanks for the video!

What a great video Tom

Very impressive farming, thank you Tom

Wow, that’s impressive. So relaxed as well. It’s nice to have the work come to you with the rotary table.

You need to come to New Zealand mate 650 is considered a relatively small herd over here. there are farms milking upwards of 1600 cows twice a day it would blow your mind man

This video was absolutely fascinating. ❤

Tom and his Father are Fantastic Farmers. Thanks for another awesome upload

A really interesting video Tom, Thankyou.

Very impressive and a lovely bunch of heifers brilliant

The farm is so clean !

Fantastic set up. You can see the family are so happy with it and that makes them relaxed too.

Great video nice to see and hear how a state of the art rotary parlour works thank you to farm as well for explaining everything.

What a fantastic family farm. They should be proud 😊

This video is fantastic, really like seeing how this stuff is done

What a fantastic family and dairy absolutely brilliant to watch great attention to detail and great video 👌👌

It's fascinating to watch the rotary milkers do their thing! I ran across Derrick Josi's videos earlier this year - his dairy farm, part of the Tillamook co-op in Oregon, uses one - and I learned a lot about them from watching his content. What was really interesting to me was that it is so easy to train the new heifers to the rotary even without the lure of an extra treat of feed while they take a spin, and he occasionally has a rider who decides to go for another circuit instead of backing out, even with the 'nudger' at the end of the rotation that encourages the dawdlers to exit. 😄 Loved all the extra info I learned from this video - thanks Tom! ❤🐮❤🚜

Derrick’s setup is something else, he said one day it started as a drawing on the fridge in 2014, $6M later, a gorgeous setup, and out of the floodplain which is always a plus in Oregon.

Brilliant video Tom what a fantastic set up,thanks for sharing.

GREAT EPISODE TOM! Amazing operation they have! Fascinating how farm engineering/technology has progressed to improve everything for the cow and the farmer.

Great set up I know a family from the bad county in N Ireland it was taking 15 hrs a day to milk put the rotary in 2 and a half hours.
