Milking Machine Advantages For Larger Herds
Officials of Experimental Farms urge farmers with twelve or more cows to consider milking machines. A 20 cow herd can use a 3 cow outfit while 12 to 15 cows need a 2 cow setup. Running costs average about 2 cents per cow daily when shared among 30 cows. One milker handles 20 to 25 cows hourly, faster than hand milking, and machines improve consistency though cows may resist if accustomed to hand milking. Proper operation requires machine and cow familiarity and timely attention.
