graham Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Started a model of Trewny Farm, 400 acres of farmland on the tip of Cornwall. Here is the start of some of the buildings, new clear span, steel frame building which houses 120 Guernsey cows, milked through 3 stall robotic milking parlour.

greenline Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Marvelous work Graham. I'm new to this and curious about the cubicles. Did you make those with a bender or some type or a press form in a vise? Did you also make the connectors? Great work Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximFarm Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Great layout, realistic aswell, I've visited many dairy units and it looks just like them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 thanks for looking and your replys ,the cubicles are by hand I have made a jig and place a straight piece of rod in there and bend each one to shape and the connectors are based on the real thing and are wired together Gregg, thanks for the comment maximus the cows got a bit tedious painting but i don't see many gurneseys nearly all black and white so thought they would make a change regards graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximFarm Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks for that Graham, I really do like all your layouts. I was looking through a previous one you made a couple of years back this morning, the one with the westfalia parlour, I dont know how you do it! regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximFarm Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Another thing, where do you get your materials from? I've been inspired to make a parlour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Just had an alert on the phone was meant to have caught this cow in the selection gate. She is down on milk yield and the selection gate didn't pick her out for some reason, joys of robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 a few pics of the inside of the cubicle house with my Guernseys all happy and contented. Been in nearly a year, yields have increased, my time is being used with herd management and farm life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 This is what we use to milk the Guernseys in before we started the robot unit in march last year. As you can see the old parlour was held together with good old string, it was time to update or get out, we took the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 they are GEA robots garrett where they are in the unit I can not get good pics garrett the robot arm moves along a track so one arm can serve five robot units in a line ,but in the model it only serves three the lely is populara few fullwoods in my area two, there is a JOZ robot slurry scraper in the unit and a robot feed pushing up system as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks for that Graham, I'm set on making lelys but there is lots of twists and turns in their design so still looking at others at the mo ideally something very square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
