Parlor on wheels aids dairy farmer after Barn Fire
Cameron Burgess of Bloomer rents a Port-a-Parlor portable milking unit after a June 26 fire destroyed his barn. Donovan Trevaskis of La Crosse built the 8,000-pound unit to help Burgess milk his 40 cows nearby, using a six-stall system, Grade A piping, and 220 power, at $2 per cow or $100 per day.

Portable milking parlor aims to revolutionize dairy farms
The Trevaskis and Burgess partnership showcase a unique portable milking parlor, seeking U S patent as a one of a kind in the nation. They plan a fleet of units for major dairy states and display one at Farm Progress Days near Stevens Point. The design allows 200 foot milk flow from a milkhouse and eases milking, especially for kicky cows. Builders expect to produce about 13 parlors yearly after initial launch.
