texas Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Great pictures Graham. A question how does they clean the walking lane from the freestall barn. When i see it right they don't have rubber on the floor in front off the feedbarrier, if so why not? Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 it looks the nuts of a loader they have had a good number of years, not sure what picture you are talking about texas but no rubber on the floor all walking lanes are cleaned with tractor and scraper, it is a large building tris 350 cubicles , hospital cubicles , bull pens , dry cow yards , bulling heifer yard, parlour and office , under one roof the farmer came second in the farmers weekly dairy farmer of the year competition nice place would make a great model .

I meant the large building with the dairy cows Graham also thanks for the answer. But don't use dairy farmers rubber on the walking lanes in the UK? Because when you have rubber on the place where the cows stand at the feedbarrier, the cows will be there longer eathing. Because concrete can hurt there hoofs and on the rubber they have soft place to stand. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 the mainitou does have a bit of a hard time , i think it gets very dusty as they put a simba spread a bale on the front and add lime to the bales as it spreads them dust everywhere, i only know of one farm what i go two that has rubber on where the cows stand i expect we will catch up with you soon texas that was the first thing i said to the patten driver tris you ghanged colours but i think he said that is the only one in silver they have , when i turned 21 many years ago all i wanted to do was drive lorrys , my first lorry was a seddon atkinson day cab on a wilcox tipping trailer 180 gardner engine blimey vans are that now \ and when tipping in the mills use t to know some of the patten drivers ,took that lorry up to aberdeen twice with loading arms on for oil rigs and brought back seed potatoes used to be away all week on that run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Graham, Some great picture there again. Is that the dry cows in the loose housing or replacements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 the cows on the loose housing are the milkers robert the farm has a fair arcerage of cearals so they have plenty of straw ,but most i see are in cubicles , i do get a lot of ideas of the farms mike they are mostly in kent and sussex some a bit further a way.

KIWINZ Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 2 things 1 nice pics 2 how come they are allowed to store fert and straw that close together as we arnt allowed to store it neer any othe flamable products and we also have to lock it away so the terrosists cant steal it (will remove the bit that is in italics if not apropriate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
