Well the boys are back again for slurry 2022 and nothing straight forward with a police car involved🤔🤔. What happened this time....

Getting few more parts made when I have time. I got Few more done this evening and screwed into place. Few cows jumped on it straight away for a look. 

Onto the next part. I’m using copper,plastic and timber for dividing the cows. I marked out the rotary base and drilled holes all very slow work but loads of time to do it. 

Great photos there,were they taken outside?

looking good so far , how many will this milk when done, i have been following on on the french site, which is a 24 one if my frenchie is right, its a work of art mind,,couple of pics to give you something to aim for 

I did not have a number in mind when I started making it. Only made the circle shape and see after how many will fit. After laying cows around it for a look,taught I would fit 40. Thanks for the photos

Thanks lads. Still trying to improve it a bit.. How do you guys to your silage clamps with shear grab bite marks..? I'm thinking Kings span cut out with a knife.. Then glue and static grass? Any advice or pics you guys can share of your silos? 

I just used a front door mat and cut it. I stepped back one part. It looks a bit hairy up close but from a distance it does the job on my farm

That is brilliant.  Did Bob ever have accident with his chainsaw as he seems to have one very thin leg, haha.  

Ya Bob had lots of accidents over the last few years but they were never his fault. Ya something definitely going on there with his leg 

Got a crew in to spray paint the walls. Floors next to be painted.BOB didn’t like the colour blue and no way would he move outa the way with his chainsaw....so they kept on spraying..

Coming together quickly, but then you'd expect nothing less from a team with a man of as many talents as Bob on it. Looks really good so far. 

Thanks. The walls are the quick part to do ...  It’s the rotary that is going to take the time but I’ve help 

Few more walls put up now and have better idea of the layout. Walls put up for the room for the milk tank and another room for the milking machine,compressor etc. BUT there was no doors cut out in the walls that’s ok tho cause we have a man on the farm with a saw ......BOB. 

Had to take base of shed out and cut out the circle where the parlour will be going. Leaving base of the shed up on a table in middle of room so I can work on it easier. Time to put up the steel and plan out for everything. With some of the walls up I think I need to add on another bay onto shed. Thanks for looking at this post. 

Next part all cut. The small ring is for where they will be eating from.

This should be an interesting build, can't wait to see it progress, and great to see you back posting 

Thanks 

Making base for the rotary parlour,using a router to cut out the round shape I need. Just screwed the router onto a piece of timber. The funnel has to be cut to the right height next

To collect the rain water off the roof ?

No not for rain water

Got the next part today for making the next part in the shed... but what will it be used for tho... 

Time to start putting everything back in the layout.farmer has a outside farm with empty sheds so he took over some of the silage gear and parked it up. All he was thinking about now ....will he have get insurance for that farm too....

Steel cut but the wrong piece left standing while the rest is on the ground again.... 

Steel needs cutting so off he went... All health and safety here on the farm... what can go wrong
