fendt-man-matty Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 well graham and garrets dairy units got me in the mood to go build a parlour, ovbviously wont turn out half as well as theres but im putting my best into it! this is supposed to be a 10X10 parlour. i still have to cut out the pit in the rasied floor. made a few gates and nut dispencers for cows. one thing i cant think of is what to use for the troughs for the cows feed \ any ideas this is the idea \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
